Janine led this mid-week walk, from Emerald to Cockatoo. Most of the walk was in shady forest and the track in great shape.
The track is often close to the Puffing Billy railway line - meandering through the forest.
This lovely little lake - aptly named. We walked around Emerald Lake before stopping for tea.
We had our morning tea gazing at the view. It really is a tough life!!
Near the beginning of the walk, crossing a bridge at Emerald Lake - before entering the forest.
A gorge of tree ferns taken from one of the bridges; we had a lovely day for this walk
Janine, Val and Chris on one of the bridges we crossed during this lovely walk
The bustling railway station in the middle of the Wright forest.
All one's ducks in a row? Off to the river for a cool swim - it was pretty warm, even in the forest
A Palomino type horse - his (?) colour looks great against the green.

Arnis' pic showing dyslexic hikers ignoring traffic sign; he was the sole lawful walker. Taken walking up Joy Avenue in Mt Evelyn, during the Oxfam stage 5 walk from Olinda.

Val's walk on Sorrento back beach. Pic taken of the car park and beach from the lookout at the end of the walk (also where we started).
Barbara's pic of a gecko taken during the walk. It posed dead still for the pic - most co-operative.
Looking back at the starting point below the lookout, showing the beaches
We had morning tea on that rocky outcrop above the steps.
Barbara's pic of the group having tea. Great views.
Chris and Ken - what friendly folk we have walking with us!
A short detour down to a beach to see the interesting rock formation
Rudi's pic of an interesting flower; the lack of colour makes the image almost like a black and white pic.
Petrified log on the beach where we stopped for our lunch
A short climb to the lookout at the end of the walk. The views from here were great.
