Monday 2/08/2021 Maloneys Bay – Bushrangers Bay – Beaky Cove
Bass Point Reserve,
Shellharbour LGA, NSW
Tharawal Country

Being in CoVid lockdown we were restricted to exercising within our LGA. Bass Point Nature Reserve fitted the bill, so off we went for a short walk that we have completed many times before.
Sunday 28/02/2021 Boyds Tower – Red Point – Leather Jacket Bay – Mowarry Point
Light to Light Walk
Beowa National Park ( Ben Boyd National Park, until September 2022), NSW
Yuin Country
Participants: Beth Davies, Stephen Davies (Photos), Sue Davies (Report), Pablo Ureña Vega
We were on a short break to Merimbula so decided to sample a section of the Light to Light Walk as a day trip.
We started with a short detour to the historic Boyd’s Tower located on Red Point. It was built by Benjamin Boyd but was never commissioned as a lighthouse. The lookout was closed and appeared to be fire damaged. From Red Point there were great views of the Pacific Ocean, Eden and Twofold Bay.
Friday 11/12/2020 Guthega Power Station – Munyang Geehi Road (Schlink Pass Road) – Horse Camp Hut
Kosciuszko National Park, NSW
Ngarigo country
Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos, Report), Sue Davies
Our last walk in Kosciuszko National Park for this trip needed to be fairly short in order to catch up with some High School friends in Canberra later today. Having camped at Island Bend meant a walk up Schlink Pass Road from Guthega Power Station, which we have frequently travelled in winter, might be a nice option to see without snow cover. It would also provide an opportunity to investigate alternative routes.

Kosciuszko National Park, NSW
Ngarigo country
Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos), Sue Davies (Report)
A short walking trip away from home before the summer school holidays commence, tied in with a more luxurious retreat for our 33rd wedding anniversary saw us heading off to Kosciuszko National Park again. We had delayed our departure to arrive after a cold wintery change charged through the region with subzero temperatures and snowfalls. Snow was clearly visible across the peaks from before Jindabyne. Certainly not unheard of but unusual for December.
Sunday 13/12/2020 Broulee Island Nature Reserve
Broulee, NSW
Yuin country
Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos, Report), Sue Davies
After an enjoyable overnight farmstay on the edge of Moruya we spent some time driving around the beautiful nearby coast looking for some walking opportunities. Initially rather tentatively, as there was some light drizzle about.
Still, by 10am we settled on a very short, mostly beach and rock platform walk around Broulee Island. The Island itself appears to be untracked and is densely vegetated with littoral rainforest.
