Ridge Walking Track—West Wodonga

The Ridge Walking Track at McFarlanes Hill is currently the focus of a partnership between parklands and Wodonga Institute of TAFE.

parklands Dungala CDEP participants are currently undertaking a Certificate III in Horticulture. The course will be conducted over two days per week until November.

Under the guidance of Stewart Detez, the participants are working on the trail in a hands on environment as part of their course. The course includes subjects such as operating specialised machinery, installing timber and masonry structures, weed control, OH&S and implementing landscape management plans.

The whole of the community will benefit through the installation of steps, improved track construction, signage installation and interpretive shelters being constructed.

This project is another example of parklands and the community working in partnership to “establish the most magnificent regional parklands in Australia”.
