Short reports from some Tuesday walks:
28 Feb 2023 (Imma Millward)
Tuesday 28th February 2023
(from Imma Millward)
Our walk to Horne Point, Witches Glen and Pulpit Rock started with a very foggy morning at Mount Vic station but the weather magically cleared as we arrived at the first of several lookouts revealing farms and creeks 350 metres directly below us. A lovely walk.
