This is a walk that we have undertaken on a number of times with our leader Bob always providing a new and interesting deviation from a previous walk and this was to be the case today.
Leaving the car and heading downstream from the Cascade Gardens passed the Cascade Female Factory.
Some of the significant new retaining walls constructed within the Hobart Rivulet to contain any floodwaters.
The house with the tilted gutter no doubt to encourage the water of the roof as fast as possible.
Strolling beside the Rivulet.
But then there is always a hill.
Happy faces having achieved the pinnacle of a short incline especially after the preceding months Xmas cheer.
A happy snap of Mother Duck and her six ducklings.
A statute representing the women convicts transported to Tasmania during the 1800's.
Morning tea and we are all suitably distanced around the park.
Following the boundary of the Hobart tip.
Looking back on the sculptured draining system for the Rivulet within the park.
Wild cherry waiting to be picked.
An example of fossilized shells in rocks making up the track.
Our leader Bob setting the pace.
An interesting bright fungi.
Heading down a track that we had not used before which apparently is maintained by the Old Farm Road Residents Group.
I thought Chris was fascinated by the unusual shaped tree but in fact he wanted to use it as support for his found shovel.
One of the many significantly constructed mountain bike jumps that wind along beside and as part of this track.
Back through the Cascade Gardens to the cars.
It was a good walk including the new section.
