What to do in Greater Hume in October

Why not make use of the sunny weather and gorgeous natural landscape and get out and about on some of our walking trails. Whether you are an avid hiker, just prefer a gentle stroll or need a track that the kids will enjoy, we have got you covered in Greater Hume. 

For our avid hikers we have:
  • The Hume and Hovel Track which will start at Coppabella Creek, head back up to nearby Lankeys Creek then along the main Jingellic Road to Lankeys Creek campsite; ideal for an overnight stay. It will then take you through the beautiful Woomargama National Park, where you have plenty of picnic and camping areas and lookouts to take a break at. The track will then finish up out near our villages of Wymah and Bowna. 
  • Table Top Mountain which is a two-hour round trip along the Local Trig Trail, off the highway near Gerogery. The summit reveals panoramic views of the countryside, including views south to Lake Hume and across to Mount Kosciuszko and the Snowy Mountains. Be sure to contact Table Top Mountain Experience on T: 0428 216 595 to book in your hike.
