A lovely sunny day saw some of our members walking through fresh green bushland on the nice little track through the ironbark trees to the Meringo headland.

The good coastal views of windswept beaches and a choppy ocean made it hard to spot any whales though. However, at our Meringo morning tea stop there was one southern-right whale “blow” further out wide. Also spotted was one solitary fishing boat slowly making his way south in the north-easterly chop.

On the return trip to the cars, a couple of other walkers reported seeing two echidnas and a brown snake, but they were well hidden by the time we passed by.

Overall a very pleasant walk on a warm sunny day.
