Eighteen walkers turned up at the meeting place - some after some difficulty - to complete the first Regular walk of the year. The previous days had engendered much concern, re showers, rain, storms etc. However, the hardy souls who turned up found a humid cloudy day. The humidity was eased by the fact that much of the walk was by the water.
The walk began with a street walk from North Shelley to the lake, where we joined the joint walk/bike path. Morning tea was at Long Jetty, complete with its historic photos.

The walk continued around the lake, the entrance itself, Blue Bay,( where we lunched ) Toowoon Bay, and the rocky headlands.

The sun saved itself for the final ascent up the sand to the steps back to the cars.
Coffee was enjoyed at Shelley Beach Surf Club, where we met up with the Plus group, still to complete their walk.
