Today's walk covered some favourite ferny tracks as well as the recently developed Bracken Lane track.
We met at Hall's Saddle
To find the Fern Glade Track which will take us to Pillinger Drive
Possum attack?
We reach Pillinger Drive and cross it to go...
...down Bracken Lane
At the bottom of Bracken Lane there is the start of a track designed for mountain bikes and we zig zag all the way down
Maps
Yes it was hilly
Took the Pipeline Track towards Fern Tree
The aqueduct taking the pipeline across Dunn's Creek
Then the steps uphill,
Avoiding this section of the walk, three people took their own route and discovered some bird orchids
Chilloglottis triceratops.
At Fern Tree we took a path through the recently opened playground
To find the Fern Glade Track which will take us to Pillinger Drive
It starts off nice and level but soon begins to climb...but gently(ish)
Our attention was taken by this tall thin manfern
Minties walk through station
Possum attack?
We reach the turning point onto Silver Falls Track
(not uphill which everyone appreciated)
...down Bracken Lane
At the bottom of Bracken Lane there is the start of a track designed for mountain bikes and we zig zag all the way down
And finally reach our cars
There were nineteen Ramblers. Lunch was at Fern Tree Tavern.
