BROGO WALK

 Next activity: East Mogareeka Walk - 8th September

25th August 2024

This moderate/hard walk was on a fabulosly scenic Brogo private property. The steeply hilly route was highly varied: across paddocks, through massive granite boulder fields, into open woodland and more dense bushland, along the delightful Brogo River and down a boulder filled gorge. Appropriately for a walk led by a geologist, the rocks were a focus of attention. Rock orchids were spectacularly in bloom, many of the boulders were spectacularly entangled with ancient figs, some formed a 'room' decorated by one of these figs, and one boulder appeared to be kissing a neighbouring gum. In addition, negotiating the boulder filled gorge, to a part known as 'the slit', provided some challenging going. The walk was only estimated to be around 7km but it was filled with great diversity.

Thanks to our leader of the day, Jeff and to the owners of the property.
