Seventeen walkers, led by Mary enjoyed this 14km walk on a relatively flat track from Congo to Tuross in perfect walking weather – cool and sunny.

We were fortunate to be entertained by a pod of dolphins close inshore just south of Congo,

Some more keen-eyed walkers were able to discern some whales breaching somewhat further offshore, though not quick enough to get a photo. And a few of the stragglers had a sighting of a sea hare and did take a photo.

Walkers enjoyed spectacular views when morning tea was had at Meringo Headland.

We detoured off the track to have a look at Grey Rocks before continuing south to a sheltered spot on Bingie Beach where lunch was taken.

After a turn inland through a lovely stretch of forest of Blackbutt and Swamp Mahogany, we reached Coila Lake where a huge group of swans and a smaller number of chestnut teal ducks were paddling.

After a stroll along the lake edge, we arrived at Tuross where a well-organised car shuffle returned us to Congo.
