Dharawal State Conservation Area Bush Walk

The adventurers embarked on a bush walk across Maddens Plains through the Dharawal State Conservation Area. It is not exactly a plain in the strict sense of the term. There are sandstone outcrops, gullies, creeks and bush. The weather was excellent. The air was still and the waters of the creeks like obsidian mirrors. Early spring blossoms were in abundance.

Werrong Beach Trek

The three adventurers extended themselves on their latest expedition. A bushwalk to Werrong Beach became an unexpected challenge when Horse, Diamond and Larry decided to attempt a coastal walk to Bulgo Beach. It was a difficult trek across the rocks and boulders but they achieved their destination and made their way back to their starting point via a completely different route.

Meet and Greet Session

The adventurers' meet and greet session at a local bowling club on Friday was a roaring success. Exploratory tales of bygone days were exchanged with the many senior locals who were there. A highlight of the evening was Diamond's father regaling the group with stories of his Antarctic adventures. The evening was capped off with Horse demonstrating how with limited resources and survival techniques he could capture enough meat to feed a family of 6. It has been decided that at least one adventurer will be in attendance at the club every Friday.
