Benalla Bushwalkers swap boots for winery visit

“To celebrate the success of that event, both hard-working clubs recently decided to arrange a social day at John Gehrig Winery in Oxley,” Ms Thornell said.

“A group of about 40 bushwalkers enjoyed a chat and exchanged notes over drinks and nibbles on the expansive deck of the winery, overlooking the gardens, creek and wetland.

“Thanks to the organisers, the lovely spring weather and the perfect choice of location, this event was voted a great success.”
