Three Little Hills 26 Jan 21

Today's walk is a variation on previous walks that we have done in this area and involves traversing three hills behind Geilston Bay and Risdon Vale.

Ready to go.
 

First Track.

Newly laid track surface.

New bridge.

Another new bridge.

And another.

Starting the climb.

Tasting the Native Cherries.

The track starts to climb.

Resting on the climb.

Mount Wellington through the trees.

No Bob, we are not going to climb this chimney there has to be another way.

We go around instead.

The final climb.

Forest floor art.

Bob, is this the morning tea spot.

Was it really 46 years ago??. Chris reminiscing.

Heading down for the next hill.

I thought we were going this way.

Apparently not.



Is that Bob among the trees.

A view up the Derwent.

Towards Midway Point.


 Down the bike track.

Up Caves Hill.


 View to Tasman Peninsula.

Lunch spot on Caves Hill.

Pink Bindweed.

Wild geranium.

Its downhill from here.

Butterfly alley.

Common Brown Butterfly. There were hundreds in this little valley.

This was a pleasant walk, the hills were not that bad really and we were rewarded with good views from all three summits.

We had 7 walkers and we cover approximately 11 km in 3.5 hours.
