Chauncy Vale
Guvy's Lagoon
A lovely warm sunny day for us today. We followed Browns Cave Creek as far as Guvy's Lagoon and then returned.
At the start there is an information area with details about the history and environment of Chauncy Vale.
The start of the walking track
Crossing a dry creek bed.
This is Eve's Pool, not looking too appealing today
Looking across to some of the caves
Avoiding the steep and treacherous Cave Loop this time
We still had quite a climb (see elevation graph) but it was steady and gentle
The inside of this tree had some handprints
We come to the turn off to the lagoon...which is dry!
The sign says Look out! Point!
It is just a small lagoon
Two went on to the Lookout point where they found an interesting seat...and looked down on the rest of us!
The rest of us started a leisurely return looking for plants and signs of wildlife.
Goodenia lanata?
Daviesia ulcifolia (bitter pea or native gorse)
??
We had 13 Ramblers and enjoyed lunch at the Pontville Pub.

Quite a few large trees have fallen across the track.
