Possible trip to WA information

By | Short Hoildays

To all Members,

Attached below are details of a walking proposal for the south of Western Australia. Please contact Stephen at rs.sl@bigpond.com if you are interested.

Ann Kennedy

Secretary

***    ***   ***   ***

Hi  All

Last year I proposed a possible trip to southern WA for 10-14 days focusing on Albany, Esperance, and various national parks in the area including Stirling, Porongurup and Fitzgerald.  The prime time for wild flowers is from September to November.  Ruth and I are unable to commit to doing this at this stage, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t go ahead as quite a number expressed interest in being part of it and others who have joined more recently might also have an interest.  I anticipate that the best way for it to happen would be hiring of vehicles in Perth as happened on a comparable trip 3 years ago and staying in shared accommodation in 4-5 locations.

Although uncertain as to whether we can go, I am happy to convene an initial gathering of those interested to talk about the feasibility of it.  I propose that we meet after the walk on Friday February 23.

Let me know if you have an interest and whether the 23rd is a suitable meeting date.

Cheers

Stephen

Beechworth Short Walking Holiday Information

By | Short Hoildays

To all Members,
I am happy to organise a 5 day/4 night trip to Beechworth – country Victoria during April, 2018. The dates I am suggesting are from Wednesday, 18th April to Sunday, 22nd April.

Please read the attached notice for information on the proposed trip.

If you are interested in taking part could you please let me know by email wilmawaters@bigpond.com by Friday, 6th October. This would enable me to reserve suitable accommodation as Autumn is quite a busy time in the area. This is an “expression of interest” only at this time and confirmation would be by actually booking your accommodation. 

There are some Members who had already informed me of their interest. I will communicate with you individually.

Thanks

Wilma Waters
