Join me for a walking tour of the Evans Head heathlands where the native flowers are blossoming. This will be a leisurely stroll along the heathland tracks where we can observe birds, flowers and insects. Bring you camera, binoculars, drawing materials or none of these, as we take time to enjoy this pristine heathland. We'll walk down to the beach for a lunchtime dip and walk back along the coast to our vehicles. I haven't mapped out the exact route yet because I have been away. However, there are plenty of options and we can even decide on the day. Meet at 8.30 am at the BP Service Station at the intersection of Bruxner Highway and the motorway to carpool and head on to Evans Head which is 30 minutes drive away. We aim to commence our walk from Evans Head by 9.15am. Leader David Roland Enquries: david@davidroland.com.au

An easy 8km walk, starting and finishing with coffee (if you like) at Mrs Birdy in South Golden Beach. We walk through the streets and up the hill to the start of the Optus trail and then through Eucalypt forest and Melaleuca wetlands to the beach. High tide is at 10.30 (1.8m) so there may be some soft sand or bare foot walking for a couple of Km back to South Golden Beach. There are also a couple of creek crossings, generally not more than ankle deep, so walking sandals or old sandshoes are a good idea. Swimming is an option, bearing in mind that this beach is unpatrolled. Please do not park in the Mrs Birdy parking spots but on the road that leads down to the beach beside Mrs Birdy (Peter Street) or on the waterfront. We often finish well before 12pm The walk starts at 8.30am please arrive earlier if you want to grab a coffee. Grade 2, Leader Dave Froggatt, 0402470546

This Sunday, Nov 3, let's visit Lost Valley again. It's a steep 60 minutes to get to the top to see this view. Then there is a deep, cool swimming hole. We then walk through a curtain of vines into a gently rising valley surrounded by 150m cliffs. This is the only forest I know that was never logged. We clamber up to Lyrebird Falls at the head of the valley. Grade 3 Leader Steve 0414312917 I'll send out an email Saturday for meetup details.

This will be a peaceful, curated walk through coastal forest drawing on sensory connection activities guided by David with authentic, nature-inspired movements guided by Sandi.

We start our walk at the northern end of Billinudgel Nature Reserve, a short drive from Brunswick Heads. The walk is accessible with a slight descent to begin and remaining on the flat after that with a total distance of 4.5 km.
