Taking in the view from Peach Trees Lookout
In keeping with current times, the weather could have gone either way, but thankfully, the early showers prediction was correct, and 23 walkers arrived for the only walk of the day
Early birds were fortunate enough to see a large kangaroo calmly cross the road about a hundred metres away
Briefing

Distant horizons
The wildflowers were not as colourful as on previous walks, but the Perimeter Track towards the end, provided many waratahs of spectacular heights, although past their best.
