Report:
Wednesday morning we joined other retirees Linda C, Lothar, Peter, and Rosalie (who are in training for an extended walk in Nepal next month), and Liz H. Lothar set the pace taking us up Mt Sturgeon. There were frequent pauses to admire a variety of wildflowers, including Greenhood and Wax-lip orchids. There were gorgeous heaths, grevillea, egg and bacon pea, wattle and Thryptomene all flowering. Perfect weather, soaring eagles, great views from the top, and cuppas as usual!
On the return we took the turnoff to the Piccaninny climbing to the summit and continued across to the car park (in search of donkey orchids) and then back along the Halls Gap road to the Sturgeon car park.
We drove into Dunkeld for coffee, lunch, and a picnic at the
playground.
It was a happy couple of days for us, wishing Dianne a happy relocation and to
Lothar and party a great adventure trekking in Nepal.
Marg and Ken
