South Arm 2013

As you can see, it was a beautiful day for this, generally, flat walk. Few trees, just grasslands and beaches.

We had 10 walkers and covered 6.6km in 2:26 hours.

Gellibrand Vault

Original landowner of South Arm. Not a bad spot.

Not a strange Tasmanian beast, just an interesting log proving there were some large trees here in the past.

Natone Hill 2013

As you can see, we had a beautiful day for the walk. Parking down on the Esplanade on Lindisfarne Bay, we started the walk on the bike track.

The walk went around Lindisfarne Bay and the bottom of Natone Hill to Geilston Bay. Around the end of that bay and up onto the lower slopes of Fishers Hill. Morning Tea at Bedlam Walls Point, then back to Natone Hill to walk the other side & top. Lunch was on top, I think.

Not many photos as I didn't have the blog running then.

I think we had 14-15 walkers and covered 13.9km in 4:23 hours.
