The very early start was certainly rewarded with the moon still lingering in the west, a bright sunrise over the ocean and whales breaching in close view as the group enjoyed this spectacular setting for breakfast. The walkers then continued along Tathra Beach, through Ford's Farm, scrambled down to Moon Bay, enjoyed views at Wajura Point Lookout and then headed down to Nelson Beach and across the sand dunes to overlook Nelson Creek for second breakfast. On return to Mogareeka there was a well attended morning tea which completed a lovely walk.
Thanks to leader Ann for the walk and providing the delicious morning tea.

East Mogareeka proved to be a fun and highly varied walk on a most beautiful spring day. Highlights included: the flowering rock orchids up on the cliffs of Salt Water Lagoon as the group skirted the edge; a visit was made to Baronda (also known as Yencken House and gifted to National Parks by Peter Yencken); the fabulous views of Nelson Bay; lunch on secluded Paspalam Point Beach and exploring the remaining evidence of the old Ford Farm. The walk took the group, along the edge of the lagoon, along dirt roads and tracks and off-track including some challenging climbs and negotiating some more bushy areas. However, most fun of all was the rope climb down to, amd back up from Paspalum Point Beach. A great day!
Thanks to Robert for leading and providing interesting historical insights..

The weather gods were on our side once again for the walk postponed from March. The walk had to be rescheduled because of control burning in the area at that time. The fire activity was evident throughout the walk, with much of the undergrowth having been cleared. Some features, previously overlooked, became apparent with the more open vegetation. The magnificence of this forested area, south of Pambula, was still apparent. The route visited a number of the old mine workings left from the goldrush around the turn of 19th Century into the 20th. Our walkers reflected on what the area would have been like during these times and marvelled at the depth and size of some of the workings.
Thanks to leaders Donna and Dianne and also to Jeff for interesting historical information.
