A couple of large fallen trunks provided a slight pause as they negotiated their way over them. Lunch was enjoyed on Myrtle Beach, with time to admire the rocks and calm, sparkling sea of many shades of blue. A couple of the party even enjoyed the water with a cooling swim.
On the return leg of the 12.5km raggedly figure of eight circuit, the walkers disturbed a medium sized goanna which scrambled up a tall gum on the side of the track. A couple of orchids just forming flower heads were spotted, and they passed the Big Tree, an icon in the local area which always presents a good photo opportunity for club walkers.
The leader, Glenn, led the group safely back to the cars which were a welcome sight after a number of fairly steep climbs in increasingly warm temperatures.
