Eltham mud brick walk

Eltham & District Historical Society will be conducting a number of short walks in precincts of Eltham where there are groups of mud brick houses, this Saturday July 26, 2008 commencing at 10.30 am.

Transport between the precincts will be by car and car pooling may be arranged. Most individual walks will be just a few hundred metres but there will be one walk of about 1.5 kilometres. A number of the houses are of heritage significance. The proposal is to walk past and discuss these houses rather than visit them.

The program will start at the Eltham Local History Centre at 10.30 am and will return there for lunch. You will need to bring your own lunch or stop somewhere to buy it on the way. You can do as many or as few of the individual short walks as you wish.

There is no charge for either members or others for the mud brick walk or other walks. Ring Russell Yeoman on 9439 9717 or email to edhs@bigpond.com for bookings or further details.
