Eleven hikers joined Margaret for her inaugural walk as Walk Leader in the beautiful Monga National Park. This lovely 12 km circuit hike takes participants through a magnificent forest with healthy tree ferns and abundant fungi. Even though this area was ravaged by fires four years ago, it was pleasing to see that some Pinkwood trees have survived as well as many other old growth trees.
Margaret set the bar high for her first walk. We had stunning weather, a great group of hikers, no leeches, a civilised lunch stop complete with picnic tables and amenities but above all, Margaret didn’t lose the acceptable ten percent attrition rate of participants! Whilst Neil deduced that it meant we could have shed 1.2 hikers, he couldn’t quite work out what body parts should make up the .2 so this discussion was soon dropped.
All in all we had a wonderful day and look forward to what Margaret has install for her next adventure. Thanks Margaret for a job well done.
