A WALK IN THE TANJA FOREST

 Next activity: 29th to 30th November - Mallacoota (kayaking) - see program for details

16th November

On a beautiful spring day, this was a relaxed walk through the forest of Mimosa National Park in the general area of Tanja, Cowdroys Beach and Nelson Lagoon. While many of the spring flowers have had their time, but a number of fringe lilies were still on show; possibly brought on be some recent rain. The walk through the magnificient spotted gum forest and coastal views were greatly enjoyed. An apparently curious goanna joined the group for lunch by Nelson Lagoon. The absolute highlight of the day, however, was a small koala that happened to scuttle past the group and up a tree. A rare sighting and a very special and memorable moment. The group were delighted and felt very lucky.

Thanks to our leader of day, Ian.
