VMTC has lost one of its founding members and a pioneering female bushwalker.
Daphne left this life, with her family around her, on Sunday 31st August.
With the company of her husband Keith and other VMTC members, Daphne was one of the early walkers of the 1950’s to tackle remote areas of Victoria and South West Tasmania.
Even though Daphne could be described as a “tough walker” her personality was anything but tough and her final messages to friends and family were to “not be sad” and “I love everybody”.
