Silver Falls and O'Grady's Falls




Silver Falls and O'Grady's Falls
(previously walked on 31st January 2018

It was a very cold day so people found what shelter they could as we assembled




Then we set off past the playground renovations at Fern Tree park


Renovations include new loos and a bus stop, in the meantime there are portaloos "for your convenience"


Along pipeline Track and through the Fern Tree Bower.





YAY!



Silver Falls








Climbed up from these falls to continue along Silver Falls Track








At the junction with Fern Glade Track



Thanks Jo.


Onwards


Evidence of storm damage





We emerged onto Pillinger Drive and crossed it to O'Grady's Falls Track.



I spotted a lovely gate.









Until we reached O'Grady's Falls with plenty of water flowing.

Our return along the sunny side of the hill


 Down Pillinger Drive


Via Pillinger Drive Track




Down the steps to Fern Glade car park, a short walk up to lunch.
