Mount Stanley : December 5
There were 10 of us on this planned walk up to Mount Stanley, a walk along a bush road, with mature eucalyptus forest surrounding us on both sides. The morning was cool, with a light breeze, and the birds were singing their lovely tunes for us. Through the trees, the views of hills, mountains and…

Starting from Cresta Valley, the South Walk is approximately 8.5k, with the elevation varying from around 1475m to…

As has become our usual practice during the pandemic, we met at Rotary Park, and then travelled in convoy (without car sharing) to the start, at the Forest Camp, Killawarra….
