Today's walk will be a stroll around Margate, Dru Point and includes climbing Harts Hills on the outskirts of Margate commencing from the recreation ground carpark.
Ron providing a brief description of today's walk to the group.
Leaving the recreation ground.
A view across North West Bay towards the mountain.
Happy walkers at Dru Point.
A couple of locals heading to the water.
These two were having a quiet snooze on the seaweed.
Across to Howden and a bit of rain.
One wonders how an English Fire Alarm phone manages to turn up in Margate.
A tiny house getting ready to be installed on someone's block.
The original nest for the Tasmanian Jackjumpers NBL team.
Following the laneways between the houses.
Harts Hill our main objection for today in the distance.
Strolling along the Dave Burrows Walk.
It's flat, sunny and out of the wind, what better place for morning tea.
Still following Dave Burrows Walk.
Looking across the green revegetation of the Baretta Waste and Recycling Centre (originally the Margate Tip).
This sign should have been on last week's walk because we heard loads of Pobblebonk frogs then and none today.
This fellow was one of a large number in the reserve.
The ascent to Harts Hills.
Up.
Further up.
The view is getting better.
But I think the hill was getting steeper (or tedious).
The various stages of flowering for the Eucalyptus Cornuta from WA.
Ron leading the way to the summit of Harts Hill and the view.
Of in search of a sheltered spot from the bitter winds that were blowing so we could have lunch.
Sometimes an old quarry is all you want.
The horse thought some of the walkers might have had a spare apple.
Showers were around us on and of during the day but did not fall on us.
Maybe pigs do "fly".
We had 12 walkers who covered 10.7 kms in 3 hours and 40 minutes.
A pleasant day walk.
