The group takes their bearings!

How many can we fit on this viewing platform?

The sun was shining, the air was clean, the sea was sparkling – what a great day for 13 members and two visitors to enjoy a 9km walk around Dalmeny. While it’s a 40 km drive from Moruya to the start of the walk, the roads were surprisingly quiet and even the car park at Yabbara Beach was empty!

Everyone was happy to be out on the track again and a low hum of chatter was pretty constant throughout the walk. There was a nice little hill to get the heart started and then a very pleasant walk through the bush following a criss cross of bike tracks. Even though it was Sunday, only one motorbike and one cyclist was spotted. Nevertheless the motorbike was enough to scare away the birdlife, or perhaps it was the chitter chatter!

Emerging from the bush we surprised some locals who wondered where we had come from and then we joined the bike path heading back towards the coast. This track eventually becomes the Narooma to Dalmeny Story Track and it was great to see families out and about making the most of conditions. The sea breeze was welcome and the views up and down the coast did not disappoint.

A very pleasant walk capturing our beautiful coastline and bushlands.
