Engravings Walk:
After many weeks of rain a sunny day finally permitted a Walk. Yay, hooray.
The Engravings Walk is, as the name suggests a destination for Aboriginal engravings on a rock sandstone platform.
The first half is the track is a bush track which gives way to a service trail. Here, because of unusually high rainfall we found large muddy pools right across our path. We walked parallel to the Wakehurst Parkway close by, unseen but heard.
The destination of the expansive sandstone platform was reached after we climbed through protective fencing. Some of the Aboriginal engraving were very faint while a few showed up bold and large.
After a good look at the engravings while wandering over the smooth surfaces of the fascinating sandstone platforms we retraced our steps to Seaforth Oval.
Another track leads from that starting point, The Timbergetters Track which almost became the choice for the next walk. Unfortunately it falls in the “Hard” category. Pity really but we will give it a miss. Moderation in all things including walks. The Moderate category is a perfectly good and an acceptable grading for us.
Coffee in Roseville, Hill Street Beans where Kate joined us.
Walkers: Moira, Pippa, Marie-Claire, Donna Carolle
