Well, we made it! In between lockdowns some varied and interesting walks, with many more planned for 2022. Our thanks to the walkers,and to the planners who shared their favourite walks with us all, and to the photographers who captured the highlights.
November Walk - Oxley to Milawa.
Once again, the rain radar didn’t look promising but 13 determined walkers set off for Oxley, where Wende organised the car shuttles that would bring us safely back again. We studied the details of local history while gathering at the park, and then set off on an excellent track to Milawa,4.8kms in total, walking alongside paddocks and an old mill before arriving in Milawa where we enjoyed lunch at the pretty little John Mcaleese Park behind the bakery. Fortified by lunch, another 1.8km took us to the Milawa Cheese Factory and a leisurely talk over coffee and cake. Luckily, the rain held off and we then shuttled back to Oxley and our cars, and then home.
Many thanks to Wende for suggesting the walk, and managing the mathematics of car shuttles, and Andi for the photos.

There will be no walk in December, with the group instead meeting to enjoy an end of year lunch and plan our 2022 calendar. Walks will recommence in March 2022.
