Walk 3: Balls Head Reserve and Berry Island

Walk No 3 - Balls Head Reserve

Tuesday was the day of threatened stormy violence from the skies which certainly eventuated as predicted but not before five of us had notched up a delightful walk around Balls Head Reserve.   This is a place once home to Aboriginal people  but then  slowly taken over  by Eueropean settlement in the 19th Century.

 A coal loader was built, boat buidling, stone stores. We saw some old piled up stones  and crumbling walls, remnants no doubt of early industry and dwelling places.   Balls Head itself is open forest, lushly green this winter day due to abundant rainfall for many months.   All too soon we emerged from the track to head back towards the road towards Waverton Station and our Coffee shop.  Five of us, not too weary but well satisfied.
