Cascade Walking Track 2nd May 2018

Cascade Walking Track  Wednesday 2nd May 2018

Today's walk followed the Hobart Rivulet from the Cascade Brewery to Old Farm Road. A "gentle" uphill looking for flowers and fungi, with lots of birdsong, followed by an easy downhill along the road for some (and  return via the track for others)

Stone bridges and steps are a feature of this track.







Rivulet is rather dry



Some natives

and some  aliens


We are heading the right way
Uphill wasn't exactly gentle and a rest was welcome







 Negotiating other track users...
 ...and obstacles


Arriving at Old Farm Road, awaiting further directions and deciding options. In the background you can just see the yellow of the bulldozer. It was carrying out illegal works in preparation for the proposed cable car. They were not popular and may have scuttled their plans by breaking the rules.


Return by road

 
I wonder what they think of the proposed cable car plan




 Interesting holes






Fungi season is starting.


Our destination is in sight





Some locals


Lunch was OK I think




Start and finish at the red dot
