Bushwalks

Friday 30 November 2018 This is a story that I could have just kept quiet, but really it's quite amusing so I thought I might as well share it. Golden Rosemary Kara Retreat Track I started out from The Springs on the Lenah Valley track and located the turn off to the Kara and Retreat track. When I walked up to the Kara Hut I didn't take much notice of it as I had seen it many a time and just headed off to The Retreat,  however I hadn't gone far when things didn't look right.  I backtracked, went back again and still nothing looked quite right so  I searched around and then, not finding anything familiar,  eventually followed what was an obvious track but it definitely didn't seem right, nevertheless I followed it and it eventually just got to a creek and stopped.   On  returning to Kara frustrated, I decided if I can't find it I'll go up to Pinnacle Road and back down the Retreat track.  A long way of getting there of course, but  when I got to Pinn

Everything was pretty dry. although the paddocks and that on the way to the start were very green, and there wasn't a lot of water coming over the Falls. It took almost 1 and a quarter hours one way for the 3.1 k Old farm area seemingly returning to bush Pultenaea juniperina Hibbertia Goodenia Scree and Bedfordia Track becomes roughish at the end Pelverata Falls Westringia
