Walter Braun has built many of the tracks around Arapiles.

If you have ever walked down Pharos Gully or down the newly finished Central Gully track then you have encountered Walter’s amazing stonemasonary work. He has built tracks across Arapiles (Dyurrite) and the Grampians (Gariwerd).

Unfortunately, the recent Buangor fire has destroyed much of the infrastructure on Walter and Ruth’s Mt Cole farm.

Fortunately, their house (just) survived. However, they lost all of their sheds, tools, water tanks, fences, beehives, market garden and orchard, as well as some of their livestock.

A go fund me has been setup to help Walter and Ruth you can support / donate to Walter below:
