25.01.2022 Walk last Wednesday in Main Creek was a celebration of bird week and a chance for some of our walks members to experience a birding outing. I enlisted the help of husband David keen birder. They did a walk around birding hot spots in our garden then a walk up Cabbage Tree rd. 34 species were seen including the secretive log runner birds.

25.01.2022 Peter here. We are down in the Snowies and discovering that the Walking season doesn't start until Nov 16 as we found on the Mt Kosciuszo ascent. We made it to the Lookout but that was deep enough snow. It's a great area for walking though...we should have an expedition?
