Morris will lead today's walk which will be in the Margate area with the forecast for good walking weather.
Soon after the start we cross this plank which is part of the shortcut across the property.
And then through the orchard
Here Morris is showing off his golf ball collection which he believes is due to crows stealing the balls from North West Bay Golf Club about 2.5kms away and then dropping them on his property.
Each day Morris also collects the official rain measurements for Margate and then sends them to the Bureau Of Meteorology where they are compiled. In this picture he explains the process (p.s. 0.4mm of rain fell overnight).
Next we go to the dam where a platypus put on a show for us - it was quite an experience and was appreciated by all
Along Nierinna Creek there were a number of small dams - some were natural and others man made
Its time for morning tea
Continuing along the creek
Some fungi
We leave the creek and use Tabors Road to make our way to the Tramway Reserve
Continuing on after lunch
Back over the plank
Today 11 walkers covered 14kms
