Sunday 9 Feb 25. Manly Dam Circuit.

We had a group of 17 walkers for this expedition to Manly Dam.

The track started at the northern end of the dam wall and then after climbing a little and then dropping to the dam, it rougly followed the shoreline for a while.

A slight gradient after that took us a bit higher to go up and meet a fire trail, then gradually down again to come to the dam upper reaches.

At one point, we came across a red-bellied black snake - our brave leader was able to get a rather good snap of the creature as it slowly moved off the track and into the bush.

We had morning tea by the creek, and lunch at one of the many picnic grounds.

Distance covered was 7.7 km.

Many thanks to Geoff for planning and leading this walk.
