Descending to Cullendulla Creek

On Sunday twenty bushwalkers enjoyed a 7 km walk,  first walking through a spotted gum forest with Burrawangs en masse.  After the recent rains the bush was sparkling.  Stopped along the way to enjoy the views from Square Head Nature Reserve down to Long Beach.   It was a steep descent on a rough track down to Cullendulla Creek, with a break for morning tea to admire the interesting coloured rocks.

We continued along the edge of the creek till we were lucky enough to see the Rats Tail Orchids in flower.  Our lunch spot was on the edge of the creek, very pleasant sitting in the sun.  Then back to the cars – thank you very much Jill for a great walk.
