Sixteen bushwalkers enjoyed a lovely walk and with ANU’s permission, we passed through the Coastal Campus and up the forest road.  The hike up Don Moir Hill was a slow climb, pushing through sapling regrowth.  The solid rock remains of the WW11 Telegraph Station and morning tea, were a welcome break before heading down the same route.

Continuing along the road and onto the start of the bush track, a very large black snake was spotted stopping everyone including Steve in their tracks. Again, we pushed through regrowth on old bike tracks to make our way towards better four wheel drive roads and lovely tall gum trees.

An easy gentle downhill walk to Kioloa Village and the beach, a quick swim and pleasant sunny lunch break before we continued the last kilometer along Kioloa Beach, bringing us back to the cars.

A very enjoyable walk.
