Wednesday’s walk was an easy 7km from Mullimburra Point to Bingi Headland.

Joan, Tim and Mary joined leader Donna F on a windy, overcast morning which turned into a pleasant breeze by the time we reached the start at the Mullimburra carpark. The group stopped to enjoy each of the many views both south and north as we made our way to the Bingi Headland.

A stop of various rock formations culminated in a visit to the wrecked ship of the SS Monaro which came to grief in May 1879. Only the boiler, well rusted, provides evidence of this event. Amazingly, no lives were lost.

The subdued lighting made for some interesting colours which Donna took advantage of with her ever ready camera. A ray of sunshine penetrated the clouds just before we turned back for the cars.

Thank you Donna for a very pleasant morning.
