Crossing a very muddy Lemon Tree Creek

Not so much a mud puddle – but a mud lagoon

… requiring deft feet!

Up through the trees

Niamh, Phil, Rob, and Ed discussing – take the road or get wet feet on the side track?

…decided to take the wet side track!

Thirteen bushwalkers enjoyed a beautiful autumn walk on an 11 km circuit around Lemon Tree Creek near Lake Tabourie.

There was plenty of evidence of recent heavy rain in the large puddles which we carefully skirted, but we still managed to collect our fair share of mud. This did not dampen spirits as the forest, also benefitting from the rain, was lush and green, and enhanced with the appearance of the first wattle flowers. There were a couple of unexpected obstacles on the track, which were easily overcome with some bushwalker teamwork.

Thanks to Philip for leading us safely through a lovely section of bush, despite the muddy puddles.
