We are starting the walk from Woodridge Place and walking down through the houses on Tolmans Hill before entering the walkway to Dynnryne.
The group stopped just past this spot and spent some time discussing the earthworks on the other side of the Southern Outlet and ended up deciding the new subdivision was not where they would want to live.
A bit of Americana tied up to our port in the form of a Disney Cruise boat complete with Mickey Mouse Ears on the funnels.
Leaving the houses passing a stunning eucalypts.
Walking along the top of the climbing quarry on Waterworks Road.
One of our walkers found the birds nest on the forest floor with the maker using all the materials available including blue plastic tape from degraded tarpaulins.
Descending towards Waterworks Road.
The bridge across Sandy Bay Rivulet on Romilly Street. The last time we crossed the workmen were just starting to paint it and it now looks quite attractive.
Walking along the Sandy Bay Rivulet Track.
A very large Dianella fruit.
The normal looking fruit.
Experiencing a small rain shower that past over us while looking at the Waterworks.
First view of Mt Wellington for the day.
We arrived at Gentle Annie Falls.
I have included a photo taken by my father in the 1920's when he visited his sister in Hobart.
You can see the amount of water that used to run down the falls before it was all put underground in pipes and also how much it is overgrown. It would be good if the authorities in charge would remove some of the foliage so we could better view the work undertaken to make the channel down the rock face.
Climbing up towards the top of Gentle Annie Falls.
Some of the group stopped for lunch below the top of the falls and others stopped at the top.
Lunch over we are of towards McDermotts Fire trail.
The eucalypts looking great with sun shining through.
The head of the group seem to not know which track to take from here.
Unfortunately for them it was the one going up leading to the Tolmans Hill that took us back to our cars.
The weather was kind and everyone enjoyed the walk.
