Pipeline Track

 Pipeline Track


We met at the Fern Tree Tavern, crossed the road and made our way up towards the Fern Bower and Pipeline Track.














Looking out over Sandy Bay and east to Tranmere and eastern beaches





Having crossed Clegg Rd we continue along the Pipeline Track





Some information about the Wishing Well






The first of four bridges






Second and third bridges






 

Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans), the world's tallest tree. Not this exact specimen obviously.


Lolly break


Fourth bridge





Chimney Pot Hill



The Pipeline has appeared


These features show that we are nearing the end of this track





The junction with the Wellington Falls track




A dinner plate sized mushroom


And some tiny mushroom, edible by some local creature apparently



The return walk






We didn't really notice this garden on the way up, but we were distracted by  lots of little details on the return



















There were 21 Ramblers, lunch was at the Fern Tree Tavern
