Ten walkers set out on a stunning winter’s day in the Mogendoura Ranges for a new 9km circuit walk. The Mogendoura ranges are just west of Moruya in the Wandera State Forest. It was nice to experience somewhere a little different without a long drive on tricky dirt roads to get to the trailhead. The walk itself takes in some good bike tracks that meander across easy creek bed crossings and is balanced by some nice easy ridge walking with a couple of reasonable ascents and descents.
Whilst the morning tea spot consisted of finding a suitable spot on the ground, with not a log in sight, the lunch spot more than made up for it with a lovely mossy creek complete with some nice rocky outcrops suitable for seating.
The lunch topic of conversation was whether any of the participants had seen a platypus in the wild. Much to KarenM’s disappointment, it was revealed that she was the only one present who had not seen a platypus in the wild and it wasn’t for the want of trying. We all gave KarenM some personal suggestions on where to look for one and made a mental note, that due to her lack of success, never to take KarenM with us if we wanted to find another!
