Next activity: 16th November - A walk in the Tanja Forest - see program for details
2nd November
Another wonderful walk in the Brogo River area was blessed with equally wonderful weather. The group was lucky enough to be given permission to explore the forested hillsides and picturesque banks of the Brogo River only accessible through a private property. The route up and down hills and along the flat, followed old tracks, dry creek beds and some off-track walking. The last big fire in the area, in 1953, and the changes that this brought to the area were pondered. As well as the open forest, there was much to appreciate in this rich environment; from a pre-fire survey tree, to magnificient granite bolders and impressive fig trees. Lunch time at the river provided an opportunity for a quick dip to cool down. Close by a water dragon sunned itself on a rock while a number of sacred kingfishers flitted from tree to tree above. This walk in a very special area was bought to a perfect end as the group were invited to join Jeff for a delicious afternoon tea.
Thanks to the leaders of the day Jeff (and for providing afternoon tea) and Robert. (and for sharing his historical knowledge). Special thanks also to the property owners for allowing our visit.
