Twenty members and friends set off from Oatley Village for a 7 km walk around Lime Kiln Bay and the perimeter of Oatley Park. Certain members took the opportunity to reinvigorate with caffeine at a local cafe, having travelled lengthy distances to The Shire's neighbouring Georges River Municipality.
It was a perfect 24-degree sunny autumn day. Highlights included the burned remains of a snake, spoonbills, ducks and lorikeets not to mention the extensive water views and the short board walk through the mangrove wetlands.
After a very social lunch stop by the water’s edge at Oatley Baths, Jo and Melanie entertained us as they swung on the rope hanging from a large tree discovered on the return to Oatley Village.
Not wanting to miss the opportunity of a glass of wine, a beer or even another coffee, the group retreated to yet another Oatley Village cafe for a final social gathering and farewells.
We are grateful to Russell Barnes for organising today’s walk.
