Only EBC members will be accepted for the walks at this stage. Non-members are welcome to join us for meals and other social gatherings.
Cumberland Ruins and Bandicoot Enclosure , Woodlands Historic Park.
This walk continues the series of short walks around Woodlands Historic Park. This walk takes us away from the Moonee Ponds Creek area and into the Back Paddock of Woodlands HP. The area is also now referred to as the Bandicoot Enclosure. The area is undergoing changes to its perimeter this year and walkers will see the new perimeter fencing.
On entering the Back Paddock, the walk soon diverts off the main track and heads south to the Cumberland Homestead Ruins, passing a largish dam on the way. After looking around the ruins, we head north east to the remains of the original Bandicoot enclosure, before leaving the Back Paddock at the exit gate next to the Weeroona Cemetery and making our way back to the Homestead, making a short detour to visit the Greenvale Creek Dam outside the old Hospital Grounds.
Refreshments and toilets will be available at the Homestead.
If the Back Paddock is unexpectedly closed due to " animal management", the walk will be changed with the Chaffey Water Trail walk scheduled for Wednesday 13 November.
