Wednesday, 8th of July

Leader: Dave Abela for CBC, 0482 802 050 or tangodancing4me@gmail.com

A nice easy walk along the Murrumbidgee River upstream from Casuarina Sands. This is an out and back walk along the same path which follows the river. The forecast for next Wednesday is for a cold but fine day with no rain, so it will be nice to spend the day next to the river after our recent rains. The track is relatively flat, there a few gates we will either climb through or over (with the help of metal staircases). It’s a well defined track all the way, rocky in few places, some stairs and possible rock hopping but generally very easy going. We’ll find a sunny spot somewhere to stop along the river for morning tea then continue on further and find a similar spot for lunch, after this we return back the same way. Total distance will be about 13 or 14kms.
