Gordon's Hill

 Gordon's Hill

Steady rain eased off and we had a mostly dry(ish) walk.

From Montagu Bay we crossed Tasman Highway on the footbridge, went past the Rose Bay High School sports field and did an anticlockwise circuit of Gordon's Hill. It was an adventure due to the way the track had been smoothed out, so the mud was very sticky, and slippery.

Here we are setting off in drizzly rain













Round we go





Mud!






Onto the western side with views to Lindisfarne

Shoe washing station 😅


Mount Wellington kunanyi is in there somewhere







We were being watched!



Not a very good day for the cruise passengers


Back towards the footbridge





Memorial to the people who lost their lives when the Tasman Bridge collapsed in1975



There were 8 Ramblers. Lunch was at Glass Garden by the Bay (ex Currency)
