Getting There

This walk was organised and led by me as a private walk. The 3 of us drove to the top of Black Mountain.
 

Further Information

With house guests who probably prefer not to be walked into the ground, I'll forego Max's FBI ad-hoc Tuesday walk and wander from where David H showed me the top of the track from Black Mountain down to the Botanic Gardens.

Walk

I'm beginning to appreciate Black Mountain more and more. We found the top of the required track and ambled down to the back of the National Botanic Gardens. Delightful open forest, rosellas - we are fortunate to have this in the middle of our city. Down through the Gardens to the coffee where I left my companions and trotted back up to get the car. On the return I exited the Gardens via the exit to CSIRO and skirted up the outside of the fence, the way we'll need to come down on the WBB as the Gardens will be closed by the time we're through here (see pic 1).

Thanks Mike and Steph.
