Magazine Gully

 Magazine Gully

We met at the Howden Boat Ramp before walking along to the Powder Jetty, then up to Tinderbox Road. From here a left turn takes us to the bottom of Magazine Gully. 








Art? Litter?


The track up to the road








Probably the caretakers house, at the bottom of the gully




Gatekeepers shed


We expected warnings about potential explosions but ...


The explosives that used to be kept here were for road works and other civic building works in 1970s



The loo




Magazine One


Some photos from Lynne.






Thank you Lynne

Big mushrooms








Tiny mushrooms







There were 15 Ramblers, lunch was at Margate Tavern
