A cool but perfect day for walking with still plenty of water over the falls. The track was in great condition after recent maintenance - Werner.

Fourteen walkers enjoyed a beautiful day of sunshine climbing Mt Edwards in the Moogerah Peaks NP. The views from the top were clear and spectacular.
Cool breeze to start off with and so most put jackets on. These were soon shed as the hard climb began. Recent rains had washed out the usual smooth track and not all tree falles had been cleared.

Sixteen walkers enjoyed a beautiful day of sunshine walking the Box Forest track at the foot of Mt Mitchell and then Mt Mitchell. The views from the top were spectacular.
Adding in the Box Forest Track allowed us all to park away from the Gap Carpark which was very congested. I have never done this as a club walk before and only did it with Steve, Julie and Werner as a Larapinta training mid-week walk.

Well the prediction was for rain and so we lost a few walkers straight away (well not lost in the bush they just dropped off the list). We met at Stoker's Siding about 8.45 am after a phone call from Joy as they were driving out along Tunnel Rd heading for the walk, as on the directions on the website so I asked them to come back to the park at Stoker's Siding in case any other walkers turned up.

Fourteen walkers enjoyed a beautiful day of sunshine walking Point Danger surrounds.
Comments: Christine D - Just arrived home after a glorious walk. Couldn't have asked for better weather or companions. Eat your hearts out Southerners! So warm, long pants were unzipped and changed into shorts. Supposedly winter is coming but so far no sign of it. Lovely scenic walk with great company. Probably the easiest walk I've done in ages but definitely no complaints from me.

Six walkers had a tough day finding a new route to Turtle Rock.
Comments:
Christine De Brito - A challenging but enjoyable bushwalk today with Colin Bridge, Paul Biggs, Werner Aeschlimann and Melissa. Many years since I've had to use ropes to go up and down steep slopes but apart from lack of confidence initially, realise I can still do it. Views of Egg Rock where we ate lunch made it all worthwhile.
Werner Aeschlimann - Turtle Rock bush walk with Melissa, Christine, Paul, Colin and myself. Despite a bad forecast the five of us headed out and had a great walk with barely a sprinkle towards the end.

Nine walkers today enjoyed the pleasant drive out the Cunningham Highway to Mt Mathieson. Overcast conditions with a mist in the forest made for a magical day of walking.

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.
