Today's walk starts from the Springs and is primarily to view the Tasmanian Waratah (Telopea Truncata) in flower and involves a stroll along the Pinnacle Track then descending the Sawmill and Lower Sawmill track returning to the carpark via the Shoobridge and North-South Track.
Pink Fingers (caladenia carnia) beside the track.
Looking out over Hobart which is covered with low cloud (or fog).

We had 16 walkers who covered 5.5 km in just under 4 hours climbing 290 metres and descending 330 meters.
Enjoyable walk with a significant amount of the vegetation in flower.
Thanks to Sally for leading the walk and Chris for his photos.
