GULAGA WALK

 Next activity: Paddling the Murrah - Saturday 1st March - see program for details

23rd February

After meeting in Tilba Tilba, the group headed out of the village, through farmland, to the track up the mountain, Magnificent tree ferns soon punctuated the way up through the rich and varied forest to the saddle where morning tea was enjoyed. Carrying on up, the track passed through even more beautiful forest, with majestic pinkwood trees (Eucryphia moorei), to the summit. A moment was taken to enjoy the satisfaction of reaching the summit before heading back to the saddle for lunch. Time was then taken to visit an area with impressive towering and balancing granite boulders; an area of particular significance to Aboriginal women. This provided an opportunity for the group to appreciate, reflect on and absorb Gulaga's nurturing and special environment that is so important to First Nations men and women. Finally the steep and often slippery track back to Tilba Tilba was negotiated.

Thanks to Nikki, our leader of the day.
