Waterworks

 Waterworks

Today was our end of year gathering at Waterworks Reserve.

After a walk around the bush and a clamber up Gentle Annie Falls we were entertained by games, puzzles and a ukelele concert. 







































There were 24 Ramblers and we enjoyed a BYO barbecue lunch.

Porter Hill

 Porter Hill

This was a new circuit for us today.

We started on the Truganini Track but turned off and followed a fire trail around the hill to join up with the Dorney House Fire Trail.

After a look around the house and gun emplacement we returned via Smugglers Way.
