For those who wish to take their time, dawdle, look closely at nature and, perhaps, even learn a little along the way! We begin along a fire trail that is relatively flat before heading downhill into different terrain and vegetation. The return is a repeat but this time, look at the other side of the track! It's amazing what one sees when doing that. One of a series along the same theme!

For those bored with flowers, use your ears! There are many birds in the scrub and above, in the canopy! Enjoy them. Try to learn their calls. Try to understand their habits!

Bring: Sturdy shoes, hat, water, sunscreen and insect repellant After: Lunch or snack at Broulee Brewhouse.  Optional: Swim at Bengello Beach. If people are swimming or not joining the group at the Broulee Brewhouse they need to let the walk leaders know at the end of the walk. If you could put a price on Nature, the Bengello sand plain between Broulee and the Moruya River is one of Eurobodalla's most valuable natural assets. Because the soils were too poor for agriculture the natural vegetation systems have stayed relatively intact. The area continues to support endangered forest ecosystems and significant coastal wetlands. These forests are significant habitat for many threatened fauna such as the Yellow-bellied Glider, Greater Glider, Powerful Owl, Sooty Owl, Barking Owl, White-footed Dunnart,  Gang-gang and Glossy-black Cockatoo. This stretch of Bangalay Sand forest, running roughly between the Fire Shed and the Airport is zoned E2, Environmental protection which means it is protected from any sort of development for now.
