North Shore - Monthly outing: walks at West Head

A day of short walks one month out from the Sydney Post Kiama Conference Tour.

The North Shore group will be hosting visiting participants (potentially from interstate) for one of the five days of the tour in September 2022. Members are invited to walk on 14 August for a final trial of the walks we will be taking the visitors on. This includes part of the Centre Track, West Head itself and part of the Basin Track. We have good plant lists for these places, so this presents an opportunity to learn about the abundance of interesting Sandstone flora species in the area.

Meet at start of Centre Track near the intersection of McCarrs Creek Rd and Liberator General San Martin Drive Terrey Hills (near former site of a NPWS Toll booth). Parking by the side of the road that hopefully will not all be taken by road cyclists.

Bring lunch, snacks, water, thermos, etc plus plant ID book, good walking shoes, weather appropriate gear eg hat and sunscreen OR rain gear and umbrella!

Contact Sue Fredrickson 0401362921 paulandsuefreddo@bigpond.com to register your intention to participate and state your name, car rego, phone number and emergency contact phone number. This way you can also be updated in case of cancellation due to bad weather.
