What to do in Greater Hume in August

The last month of Winter is a magical time. We keep our winter warmers on but get out and enjoy the sunshine and blue skies, once again experiencing the beautiful landscape that is Greater Hume. 

As lunchtime approaches, the weather begins to warm up and the sun really starts to shine, why not enjoy a beautiful picnic at one of our beautiful locations;

• There are plenty of places to choose from in Woomargama National Park, like the Tin Mines and Samual Bollard picnic and camping areas. From here you can surround yourself with gorgeous flowers and wildlife, and take a moment to breathe in the fresh air.
• Wirraminna Environmental Education Centre in Burrumbuttock houses a beautiful picnic spot in their 4-hectare park. The gardens and woodland contain many locally rare native shrubs, wildflowers and grasses that attract a range of animals and the picnic tables are situated next to a picturesque dam where you can feel tranquil and relaxed, immersed in our natural environment. 
• Morgan's Lookout near Walla Walla is an ideal picnic spot with a great history. Learn about the bushranger Dan Morgan and how he used this fantastic lookout to his advantage as you soak in the views and enjoy some quality time with family.

• 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, and 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.

• Ian Geddes Bush Walk in Holbrook is a lovely 30-minute walk along the Ten Mile Creek which starts off at the Ten Mile Creek Gardens in the middle of town. You can find a map at the entrance to this easy walk, behind the Woolpack Inn Museum.
• The Culcairn Bike and Walking Trail allows you to explore historic Culcairn as you cycle your way through town. Visitors of all ages can embark on the entire 7km loop track, or there are plenty of opportunities to take on smaller sections. With plenty of rest spots along the way, and timber sleepers for seating, this trail will suit all levels of fitness.
