About 27 people gathered at Geilston Bay for circuit of Natone Hill, following a variety of tracks, trails and pathways.
Assembling, trying to establish lunch arrangements and feeling the cold!
It was lovely to have four "returned from overseas" walkers. Great to have you back. I'm sorry that today Hobart decided to return to winter with overcast skies and very chilly temperature.
We are on our way, looking for a hill to climb so we can warm up.

Thank you Tas. He and Marcus had a discussion, mostly in latin, for quite a few minutes and the consensus is Tetratheca pilosa
also known as Black-eyed Susan.
It was very pretty with lots of pale purple bell flowers.
We reach the shore
Some coastal vistas
Spectacular bush in a garden
Sheoaks beside the track
Nearing Geilston Bay and the sun has come out. It is now a balmy 14C.
