Meroo Lake to Termeil Point walk was led by Karen C who knows this area well, and decided not to start as planned at Bawley Point to avoid the lake entrance which was still flowing out.

Fourteen members enjoyed a warm sunny day on a lovely stretch of coastline, along beaches and over rocks. We walked back on a bush track through very mature Banksia forest and admired wildflowers. Catching our eye was the Purple Flag or Native Iris (Patersonia), Wedding Bush ((Ricinocarpos pinifolius as Karen reminded me), Pittosporum revolutum with its delicate pale yellow flowers, and Hybanthus monopetalus or Slender Violet.
