2019-11-08 BeechmontWalkers: Michele (leader), & Gary, Vangie & Werner, Pam D, Christine D,
Julie, Joy, John, Paul, Colin

Distance - Back Creek Exploration: 7.4k

Distance - Beechmont Ramble: 13.1k 

Smoke haze obscured the horizon but provided for a spectacular sunrise on the morning of 9 November, and the previous afternoon's walk to Back Creek was also hazy.
 On the Back Creek walk we ventured as far as the newly erected barrier fence before making our way back to Back Creek to rock hop down to Denham Falls where only a trickle of water was coming over the falls.

A wonderful days walking in the bright sunshine, but very little water coming over the falls and in the creeks.  A very dry start to the summer.

2019-09-28 BurleighWalkers: Julie C, Joy, Paul

Distance: circa 10.0k

Only 3 walkers today but it was a lovely day for "walking and talking"!

We set off from Kevin Gates Park at 8 am and walked out to the rock wall. We then walked around past the Caravan park and did our walk the opposite way to what we usually did so as to get the open bit over and done with before it got too hot.

2019-09-14 Kingscliff-CabaritaWalkers: Julie C (leader), Michele & Gary, Colin

Distance: 19.4k

Only 4 walkers today as many were away - 8 am start.  Gary and Michele picked up Julie and Colin and drove down to Ed Parker Rotary Park Sutherland St Kingscliff. We set off walking just before 8 am. There was a Parkrun happening and it was a nice shady track as we headed towards Cabarita Beach.  We saw some lovely sculptures and also a variety of birds along the way and many friendly people saying hello as they passed by.

2019-08-24 Lennox-BallinaWalkers: John (leader). Werner & Vangie, Pam D, Susan, Joy, Julie C, Grahame & Helen, Julie & Bruce, Paul, Wendy, Colin

Distance: 19.0k

A clear, but cool and breezy morning that soon warmed up to meke it perfect day for a beach walk.  

Spectacular views from the cliffs at Lennox Head and the sound of waves crashing onshore is something that the bushwalkers rarely see.  Eagle eye Paul spotted a whale but the rest of us were amazed at the surfers trying to get out past the swells for a (possible) ride in.

2019-08-10 Lower Portals + Barney FallsWalkers: Werner (leader), & Vangie, Pam D, Julie, Joy, John, Bruce, Colin, Helen & Grahame

Distance: 14.9k

A clear, bright, day that started cool and windy but soon warmed up to meke it perfect for the Lower Portals + Barney Falls walk.  

When we arrived at Barney Creek the water was very, very low so we easily walked around the rocks to view the last of the Lower Portals and rock pool.

2019-07-27 KarraraginWalkers: Colin (leader), Werner & Vangie, Christine D, John, Pamela S, Pamm D, Julie C, Julie B, Keithe, Susan, Joy

Distance: 15.4k

A clear, bright, day that started cool but soon warmed up to meke it perfect for the Karraragin (Egg Rock) walk.  We started at the Numinbah School of Arts and walked down the Neran Murwillumbah Road to our usual start at the Adventure Trails sign and Great Walks entrance.

Details

2019-07-13 Ballunjui Cascades + Daves CreekWalkers: Werner (leader), Vangie, Christine D, Paul, Julie, Christine J, Jackie, Susan,  Colin

Distance: 13.4k

A clear, bright, cool day made it perfect for the Daves Creek walk plus the stroll down to Ballunjui Cascades where we had smoko.  With the bright, clear day all the lookouts were spectacular with clear views down Numinbah Vally to Mt Warning.  The usual excitement at Surprise Rock, climbing and descending in the opposite direction as is normal.  All agreed that this was a wonderful walk, easy walk and we pondered why we hadn't done it since 2017. It deserves a place on the calendar every year - Colin

Why does attentiveness to nature matter? In a very fundamental sense, we are what we pay attention to. Paying heed to beauty, grace, and everyday miracles promotes a sense of possibility and coherence that runs deeper and truer than the often illusory commercial, social "realities" advanced by mainstream contemporary culture. ... Our attention is precious, and what we choose to focus it on has enormous consequences. What we choose to look at, and to listen to--these choices change the world. As Thich Nhat Hanh has pointed out, we become the bad television programs that we watch. A society that expends its energies tracking the latest doings of the celebrity couple is fundamentally distinct from one that watches for the first arriving spring migrant birds, or takes a weekend to check out insects in a mountain stream, or looks inside flowers to admire the marvelous ingenuities involved in pollination. The former tends to drag culture down to its lowest commonalities; the latter can lift us up in a sense of unity with all life. The Way of Natural History, edited by Thomas Lowe Fleischner and published by Trinity University Press (Texas)
