WALK REPORT MAY 22

A crisply cold morning, with quite a strong wind, saw 23 people gather at Lake Burrumbeet for a very enjoyable walk, led by Shirley and Mark. We were very pleased to welcome new member, Sally Nagle. The first part was flat and easy, alongside the race course. Once past there, Shirley pointed out some beautiful old trees and interesting vegetation along the way. One arresting sight was of the horse and donkey, as they galloped around their paddock, putting on a show for us. 

When we turned towards the lake we had beautiful views from the walking trail; the wind had subsided and the water was calm. There was plenty of birdlife on the lake. After a banana break, we ventured up to the pine forest and made our way through some uneven ground to rejoin the more accessible track closer to the water.

Having made it back to the caravan park, after a steep climb up a sand dune, most people left for other activities while a small group stayed and enjoyed a picnic lunch in the sun. We were very lucky with the weather and we were all very grateful to Shirley and Mark for leading another terrific walk.
