CNFN walks and other events: June to September 2017
All walks begin at 10:00 am. Bring warm and waterproof clothes, hat, lunch, hand lens, notebook etc.
Sun 4th June: Black Sugarloaf, Birralee
Meet at 10:00 am at the end of Denmans Road, off Priestley's Road,
Birralee, for a leisurely walk along the track to Sarah and Ron’s
place.
Sun 2nd July: Walk to Anniversary Bay, Rocky
Cape National Park
Start at 10:00am from the Boat Ramp, at the western end of Sisters
Beach. Follow the signs to 'Boat Ramp', where we shall meet in the
large car park. The walk takes at least 2.5 hours, in a circuit
past Wet Cave, up through high coastal heath, down to a sand and
cobble beach, then back up along the grassy headlands. If the
weather is inclement, it can be quite exposed, so come
prepared. Reasonable fitness to climb some steepish hills and walk
7km on variable surfaces is required.
You may see a range of coastal vegetation, heath, grassland and
coastal birds, and some delightful coastal scenery (if the weather
is fine). (Leader: Ian Ferris)
Sun 6th Aug: AGM and winter social at Jim
Nelson's, 68 Dynan's Bridge Rd, Weegena.
The AGM will start at 10:30 am and will be followed by lunch - please
bring food to share.
Sun 3rd Sep: The Tasmanian Arboretum, 46 Old
Tramway Road, Eugenana
Meet at 10:00 am in the carpark for a walk through the plant
collections of the Arboretum and on to the trail alongside the Don
River where we hope to observe wet forest birds. Eugenana is
approximately 10 km south of Devonport on the C146. (leader:
