The old Durras Road

The blokes lagging behind!

They caught up!

A bridge too far (gone)

Well the notes said there was 400m of ‘no track’

Ten Batemans Bay Bushwalkers enjoyed a pleasant forest walk on a lovely sunny day among the trees and vegetation that one comes to expect to see in Durras. This included part of the original Durras Road and the remains of the old wooden bridge.

Karen M, of course, found orchids, many still not yet in flower. Mary received the ‘leech award’. She collected (unintentionally) the most leeches for the day, whilst most of us got none.

Along the way we enjoyed sightings of abundant bird life – grey fantails, eastern yellow robins, and whip birds, but all too quick to photograph.

The walk ended with an added small loop on the eastern side of Skid Ridge Road, before home for lunch.

Thanks to all participants.
