A climb to the top of Babbington Hill in the Wombat State Forest, passing by a hidden reservoir and an historic mineral spring.  GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Moderate 9.7 km circuit walk.  ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: This scenic walk highlights some of the interesting history of Lyonville, located in the Daylesford Spa Country.

The lockdown has now eased, though options for socialising at night are still very limited. Socialising online with other Nomads is still an option - groups of four or six players per game can play 500 online - and with video and sound enabled, it's almost like being in the same room! While interest remains, we are scheduling games of 500 on Tuesdays at 8pm (except on social evening nights) using the Trickster Cards program. If you're new to the 500 card game, but would like to learn about it, check out our 500 Cards Tutorial Notes. For some other online ideas, see Socialising Online. TO BOOK: Click Get Tickets prior to Tuesday 3rd November so you get an invitation email on the day with your link to join the game. TO PLAY: At 8pm on Tuesday 3rd November, click on the link in your invitation email. (Tip: schedule a notification in your phone so you don't forget)! TROUBLE SHOOTING: Video isn't yet available for six-handed games, though audio works, and that's all you need to have some lively table talk! If for some reason you don't get the reminder email with the link, check your Spam or Promotions folder.  LEADER: Alan D. | Email the Leader if you have any questions.
