Warby wanderers By KYLIE WILSON THEY may come from a range of different backgrounds and age groups, but a common thread of camaraderie and a love of the outdoors unites the members of the Warby Range Bushwalkers, especially in the cooler days of autumn. The group, which has been around for almost 30 years, go on regular bushwalks throughout the North East and beyond, and member Glenda Hall said members all enjoy being active and appreciating nature. “This group is populated by a terrific bunch of people,� she said. And with such a variety of natural wonders to appreciate on their walks, Glenda said it was little wonder that many members of the group are quite “environmentally aware�. She said the North East was blessed with a wide diversity of plant and animal life, to the extent that even different areas of the WarbyOvens National Park were markedly dissimilar to each other. Glenda counted the distinctive grass trees in the Warby-Ovens National Park and the snowgums at Mt Feathertop among her favourites. “It’s fabulous to be in the great outdoors, and bushwalking gives you a feeling of satisfaction and exhilaration,� she said. Club members share knowledge in areas of botany, birds, butterflies and even history, so each walk sees members learning facts about the area they had not known before.
