Track Notes
This is the shortest and most important walk I’ve ever done; next weekend will be the longest ‘day’ walk and most important walk I’ll ever do.
After church – and after we’d collected everyone (that’s you Kate) – we wandered carefully across Drakeford Drive and along the side of Sulwood Dr to the Kambah Firestorm Storytree. Here, the biggest mover and shaker of them all, Sue F, greeted us with chilled water and sumptuous grapes.
Meanwhile, non-walking church family members were having their cake and eating it too – a magnificent cooking effort and display by several master chefs in the church. Just oggle at that photo:

Highlights of the event:
• an eleven year old girl giving a huge amount of her pocket money and icing some beautiful biscuits
• walking with my son-in-law down from Sydney
• Lyn doing the walk (not on paths) with her wheely-walker
• the last donation of the day was a gold and some silver coins – it’s the largeness of the heart that determines the largeness of the donation.
Party
∼30 walkers.
