New Norfolk

 New Norfolk

Pleased we ignored the weather forecast (rainy and cold) as we had a sunny warm day with a breath of a breeze at times. There were some autumn colours and leaves swirling around and underfoot.

The leaves are swirling

Beside the river

Looking around from the rock platform

It's a long way down

Down the steps we go

At the bottom we pass through a narrow opening in the cliff

Along the Esplanade

The only way to get to New Norfolk used to be by boat

Squark!

Through the town and Willow Court

If there was doubt, here is the evidence, Patchwork Cafe is closed and motorbikes have taken over.

Along The Avenue and down to Lachlan River

Here is the animated map

There were 12 Ramblers, lunch was at The Quilted Teapot (no chips! But yummy dessert!)

Manuka Hills

 Manuka Hills

One group set off northwards from Kettering Sports Ground to tackle Manuka Hill, a bigger group set off southwards for Trial Bay.

Manuka Hill circuit...

Up and up on Manuka Road

The turn off, so we can go up and up some more!

What?

A survey point

It was exhausting...well I was exhausted!

There has been some clearing around this house, two Ramblers visible in the window

Onward past properties and homes.

Goats under a trampoline, but each on its own dog bed.

Gently down through forest and ferns

To Wilson's Road

Past the old car bodies

Nearly at Manuka Road.
