        Mt Stirling is a delightful place to visit in any season — it is one of the bushwalking club’s favourites.

        Recently, club walk leader Fiona Tweedie led a group along Mt Stirling ski trails, starting at Telephone Box Junction and finishing at King’s Saddle.
    
                  
                                                                
                  
                  
                                                                                                                                                                                        
                                            
                              
        The group members then continued on to Razorback Hut, where they had a break for early lunch.
    
                  
                                                                                                                                                                                    
                              
        Fortunately, the day was warm and still, so walking the soft trails beneath tall timber was a wonderful experience.
    
                  
                                                                                                                                                                                    
                              
        One of the group even discovered a clump of dark purple bluebells.
    
                  
                                                                                                                                                                                    
                              
        Back at Telephone Box Junction, the usual home-baked goodies appeared for a welcome afternoon tea.
    
                  
                                                                                                                                                                                    
                              
        A group of young cyclists also on the trail appreciated the offer of muffins!
    
                  
                                                                
                  
                  
                                                                                                                                                                                    
                              
        It was great to meet the club’s new members and take time to chat.
