Sunday March 21st. Goomburra area of Main Range NP - led by Nanette Jurd.

We will meet at Weeroona Park ready to leave at 8 am. Travel time to the end of the road through Goomburra is 2 hrs. There is a bit of gravel road all suitable for 2 wd vehicles. I have decided to do the walk along the cascades of Dalrymple Creek.  (More detail in the newsletter).

 

Saturday April 24th. To Nundubbermere Top Falls- led by Kris & Margaret Carnell.

We will meet at Weeroona Park at 9 am for this outing. The drive to the parking area is about 45 minutes. After morning tea we will head down a gully following animal tracks until we reach the river. It takes about an hour to walk upstream to the pool at the bottom of the falls. It is slow walking picking your way along tracks and over rocks but it’s not too bad. There is quite an area to explore around the falls. There was no water running when the pre outing was done in February. The plan is to carry lunch with us and then make our way back afterwards. This is all dependant on there not being a big flow in the river. If  the outing has to be changed we will still meet at Weeroona at 9am for an alternative venue.
