Killawarra Forest Camp : October 27
As usual during the pandemic, we met at Rotary Park for this walk, and then travelled in convoy to the start, at the Forest Camp, Killawarra. The distance planned for the two walks was about eight kilometres (2 x four kilometres), and we had a warm, and humid day, with a grey/blue sky. The eight…
