Berry Beach on Phillip Island. Clio led this outing on a warm, humid morning. A lovely, relatively quiet beach.
A hazy day, with more cloud than this pic suggests; we had an excellent turn out - 22 participants and a further 2 for lunch, when Simon and Joan joined us.
The path was similar to the Punchbowl walk; here Val leads a group up an incline
A section along a boardwalk. This section was green, but there was a fair amount of dry and brown growth.
Heading towards our lunch spot. The path was good and the going easy.
A very rugged coastline. The rock pool in the next pic is at the bottom right of the large rock out to sea.
Anyone for a swim? A rock pool way out to sea - taken at full zoom

We walked from Woori Yallock to O'Shannassy aqueduct picnic ground. The first part was an easy stroll down theWarburton trail. Not yet hot, this was most enjoyable.
On the side of the Warburton trail we passed a large area with exotic animals. Could have been in another country!!
We simply cannot identify this animal. The tail looks suspiciously like a large African mammal - Rhino or Hipp, but the ears (horns) aren't. Perhaps a cow??
It was almost like passing a large country-side zoo. Not the prettiest birds around!
A rest on the steep climb to the O'Shannassy aqueduct from Don Road.
Once we ascended the aqueduct the going was cooler and prettier.
The tree ferns along the O'Shannassy aqueduct are truly magnificent.
