Report:
Doug’s walk on 1st April from Terang to Mt Noorat and back started with five walkers: Doug, Marg, Ken, Barbara, and myself.
We started after morning tea provided by Doug and Marg. We left Terang at about 10 o’clock. The walking track to Mt Noorat had been recently relaid so fast progress was made to Noorat township. The only nuisance was the FLIES that descended and stuck for the rest of the day.
At Noorat Doug thought we may have been able to enter the Presbyterian Church built in memory of Neil Black who died 15th May 1880. The church was erected by his widow and sons in 1883 and has a magnificent organ inside. Unfortunately a service was in progress so we couldn’t enter. We tried on the way back but the church was locked up.
FLIES and all we headed up Mt Noorat for lunch at the summit. Surprise, surprise, Doris was up there before us, waiting. (I thought she must have flown in by helicopter!) Six of us then had lunch and took in the great views all around as the day was very clear and you could see forever.
After lunch we walked the rim and back to Noorat and the Beehive Cafe for icecream and coffee. A brisk walk back to the cars completed a 16+km walk on a beautiful day.
Thank you Doug and thanks to the present Neil Black for allowing us through his property.
