Waverley Flora Park

 Waverley Flora Park

It was a dreary cold day but the rain mostly held off for this walk. We wended our way through sandstone and dolerite vegetation and past old quarries as we followed much of the Darwin Trail.

Meeting in Mercedes Place 

Joe Witty aka Grey Shrike Thrush aka Colluricincla harmonica

We take a lesser known track behind some large suburban homes

At five ways we crossed to take the quarry track, where we noticed a lion in the sandstone.

Onwards and upwards to...

...the lookout over Warrane and Fairway Rise Aged Care facility

More upwards

Start of the downhill section

This is quite a steep ascent

We come to the top of the quarry with the lion face

Making our way across this slab of rock, heading to cars and lunch
