Julian's tour of Gandys Gully

Another Thursday night, another tour, this time by Julian around Gandys Gully.

Gandys Gully

A gentle but steady climb up to the stone cairn on the summmit near Coach Road, then wander back down the fire track to the other stone cairn and down the hill. We've often done this hike in reverse, doing the steep walking track up to the first peak and cairn, then down the gentle descet in the valley. Again, plenty of blackberries and the odd koala.

Gandys Gully

It's been awhile since I have walked with the Thursday evening group, this time it was over to Gandys Gully.

Gandys Gully

Good hiking, lots of tracks I have never been on before, this is an area I have only done a couple of short walks in. Good, steep hills, lots of blackberries in season.

Kokoda Training

No, I'm not doing the Kokoda Track. I just thought I might join a few others who are training for it. A short two hour circuit, three very steep hills, a Simon Special.

Chambers Gully

Afternoon rains cooled the day, so it was an enjoyable hike when all the trees and grasses were moist, fresh rain is a beautiful smell. Found a koala sitting on the ground which was pretty special, although certainly unusual. It was, as they always are, lethargic. Enjoyed catching with some old friends and chatting, even while climbing some of the crazy tracks. I've not been down some of the tracks before, I love how there are so many tracks within Cleland Conservation Park, many more than those marked on the maps.
