(NEW!!!) 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! Location: Heathcote NP Limit: 10. View

(Date Changed) We meet near the Library at Green Square and walk to Waterloo Metro Station. This area has undergone amazing changes since colonisation. There are numerous story boards detailing many of these . We visit OZHarvest off Waterloo street and have the option to purchase lunch or at least coffee at their cafe. At Waterloo Metro, members have the option of finishing and heading home OR taking the Metro to Central and using the Airport line to Wolli Creek. There is a walk/cycle track from Wolli Creek to T1 Departure level at KSA. There are other coffee and eating opportunities at KSA. Some may like to spend time plane spotting before heading home either by retracing steps to Wolli Creek or catching the Airport Shuttle Bus to the Domestic Terminal and then a Metro Bus to Mascot Station. Some may choose to use the International Airport Station to return to Central and beyond. The station access fee is about $18 with a Gold Opal Card. Using Wolli Creek avoids that fee. Distance: varies depending on options chosen: 5km to about 12 Km. Grade: 2 - with minor climbs and descents. Walking is on footpaths and walk/cycle paths. Either bring food or purchase. Do carry water and avoid dehydration. Don't drink too much water however. I have a personal story on dehydration which I will relate if walkers are interested. cyclists on shared paths, road crossings and trip hazards. Limit: 10. View

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.
