Ten of us set off from Staffsmith Park down the hill, taking in the wide Gold Coast view, reaching the quarry, and continuing down the Caballo Road.
We watched with qualified admiration as a couple of bikies stood in their stirrups and charged at a steep switchback section of the rough track, and at the top we had a friendly chat with a group of them who professed surprise that we were able keep our feet on it!
Report
Leaving that track we descended to Welches Road with a break for snacks by the power line. A carpet python and a brown snake(?) had crossed the path in front of us.
Six people then climbed back up the Mountain by the neighbouring Wongawallan ridge, and the other four returned by yet a third route, the road, by car. We all joined up at Hillbillies for coffee.
An enjoyable walk in perfect weather - John
