DESCRIPTION:Easy/Medium Wed Walk (2) - 11th March - THARWA SANDWASH TRAC
 K – 10 km (On the Easy side of Medium) Leader: Dave Abela (0482 802 05
 0, tangodancing4me@gmail.com) We’ll start our walk from the Tharwa bri
 dge carpark and head south along the riverside track to view the very in
 teresting De Salis cemetery at Cuppacumbalong. The De Salis family were 
 the first Europeans to settle in the area back in the 1840’s. We’ll 
 then continue following the riverside track and cross the shallow Gudgen
 by River, where we can rock hop to the other side. The track takes us fu
 rther south to the Tharwa Sandwash recreation area and we will continue 
 on into the Gingerline Nature Reserve, still following the river as we g
 o until the track comes to an end at a nice rocky outcrop. We’ll retur
 n the same way, having our lunch stop at the very pleasant Sandwash rest
  area. After a lunch break we’ll re-trace our footsteps along the rive
 rside track and back to our cars at the Tharwa bridge. This is generally
  a very easy walk, all along well formed trails. I’ve kept it fairly s
 hort and shady given the weather forecast. The crossing of Gudgenby Rive
 r (ankle to knee deep) will involve some rock hopping for a “dry shoe�
 �� crossing, or taking your shoes off for a sandy barefoot “wet feet�
 � crossing. Either way, you may want bring, water shoes, a small towel o
 r walking poles to assist with your balance. The walk will be no more th
 an 10km, with negligible climbing as we’ll be close to the river, all 
 on track. Map: Williamsdale 1:25000 **No bookings required for Wednesday

 bah Village Shopping Centre car park (Cnr. Marconi Ave. and Drakeford Dr

 eir first Wednesday walk and those who are not members of the BBC, NPA o
