We assembled at the Tourist Info Centre then headed in convoy (of 5-6 cars) to
the Childers Cove car park where we were joined by Graeme W. For over 3 hours we
followed a variety of “tracks” along cliff tops, the beach and a shower at Sandy
Cove, more cliff tops and finally the stony beach (at Dog Trap Bay?) At our
morning tea stop at Murnane’s Bay, Peter Murnane also gave a brief history of
the early Murnanes.

We assembled at Tower Hill for a BBQ lunch at about 1:30pm. A big crowd! After a
couple of showers we finally started the walk. The circuit is the route taken by
the Wednesday walking group – a fair bit of up and down that takes in most of
the scenic lookouts and hills. As usual the views were breathtaking; many
wattles were also in full bloom and there were plenty of kangaroos, wallabies
and even koalas about.

Christmas in July dinner
“Met him at the dance and my heart stood still, de do ron ron ron, de do ron ron” they sang joyfully, crammed on Izzy’s dance floor, outrageous headgear bopping as they twisted the night away. The singer encouraged them, trawling her list of olden day’s hits, while waiters mopped up the debris of an enormous meal. And there were presents too! Santa came to thirty-plus walkers on Saturday night. No stress, no family fights – what more could you want?

Thank you to all who participated in Saturday’s activities. It was a fantastic day and it was so good to have the Bayside club enjoy it with us. Also a real novelty having so many participants on a walk! Pictures for the Sunday walk from Cannon Hill to Logans Beach (and Proudfoot's) are also included.
