2010 Bushwalking Reports PDF Print E-mail
9th January 2010
Twin Falls

For a summer walk we were surprised with a turnout of 11 walkers. The numbers were increased by the return of Jill Agnew and Madelon Bakker, who joined us as a visitor.

As the Twin Falls walk is not a long one we were in no hurry, so it was more of an amble around the circuit, than a dedicated bushwalk. The Springbrook area had experienced some heavy rain over the past few days, so the track was very wet and slippery. We did have a few walkers who did slip on wet rocks, but the only injury was to their pride. Smoko was at the first set of falls. We were surprised with the volume of water coming over the falls and I cannot remember ever seeing such a good flow of water.

We were back at the Canyon car park a bit before midday, so decided to go to one of the other picnic areas for lunch. After some confusion between the drivers of the 3 cars we all managed to arrive at the Goomoolahra Picnic area in due course.

After lunch we strolled down to the lookout there to admire the view and contemplate a future walk later in the year on the Warrie Circuit, or to the Springbrook Pinnacle. Both these walks are now open after being closed for some time.

We then drove to the car park for the short walk to Best of all Lookout, before going to have a look at Purling Brook Falls. We had a very good coffee at the Café near the Purling Brook car park.
