Leaders. David and Lyn Munro

A walk along the southern perimeter of the Grampians National Park. We started at the Mt Sturgeon carpark and followed the fire-trail along the Grampians NP perimeter. The return was alongside the banks of the Wannon River.

This was a leisurely ramble along the National Park fire-trail south from Mt Sturgeon carpark, through the gate into cleared paddock, then back along the river traversing the slope to rejoin the fire-track back to the carpark.
The area walked by this group was reported on by a group of FNCV naturalists in the 1920s. They concluded that the bush was severely degraded as a result of over-grazing by sheep and goats. It is worth noting that the environment has not yet recovered.
