Another of our esteemed bush walking members, Nigel Lacey, has passed away. His funeral in Melbourne coincided with this walk, so we dedicated the walk to him.
We started from the Reservoir on Mount Buffalo and walked the Mac’s Point track. This track leaves the Rocky Creek 4WD track after crossing the creek and heads south, with an interesting, well sign-posted route. You then turn right at a junction (with the other track leading to the “Giant’s Causeway”). The path follows the western side of the ridge and then climbs to the lookout. There are good views to the East where the Cathedral, the Hump and the Horn are all visible. During lunch we drank a toast to Nigel (which Marion had carried in her back pack).

The return track branches to the left about 250m from the top, and leads to the Rocky Creek Track and back to the start. A very pleasant day with six walkers. The walk was about 6.7km.
