Here are photos along with a description from the walk I missed, courtesy of Peter. I think you'll agree, he did a great job. Thanks again.
We started the walk with a short
circuit towards the city from the Gardens car park with the highlight
being a couple of Straited Pardalote's making a nest in a pipe
railing over the Rivulet.
Returning through the carpark we had an
earlier than usual morning tea in the gardens before heading up the
scenic route to McRobies tip where there is a viewing area (through
the cyclone fence) of the tip and its activities, someone commented
that the seagulls flying overhead were probably the ones we saw the
week before on the Lenah Valley tracks travelling between McRobies
and the Glenorchy tip.
After wandering up the dry forest we
were pleasantly surprised by the lushness of the upper part of
McRobies Creek where we encountered a number of small fallen trees
and one significant group that had fallen across the track.
We then climbed what Bob advised was a
"Small Hill" and in the discussion confirming what we had
all previously thought which was that a "Little Hill" was
actually bigger than a "Small Hill".
** Funny how Bob's definition of hills always bring on a discussion - Jack **
Another downward track was probably the
challenge for the day although a large patch of low growing flowering
wattle made it well worthwhile.
After reaching the high point for the
walk we descended down to Farm Road and were to cross the creek just
before the brewery but Bob decided the water level was too high so
with half a kilometre to the finish of the walk we had a short and
steep bushbash to a higher track before returning to the Gardens."
There were eight walkers in all ( a
reflection somewhat of our globetrotting membership).
