Waterworks Reserve

 Waterworks Reserve

It was a complicated walk today, people took their own paths.

Starting from Romilly St we walked up the Pipeline Track, we parted ways at the first dam. One group took the bush track above the dam to the stream at the top of the dams and then another bush track past Gentle Annie Falls. 

We haven't been able to do this walk for a couple of years as the track has been closed for earthworks.
