This was another walk led by Brian Everingham for the National Parks Association of NSW. Yeramba Lagoon, in the Georges River National Park is a very pleasant place to visit.
In the morning ,we did a circuit walk around the Lagoon, looking at with trees, wild flowers and birds.
Here are some photos –
Channel-billed Cuckoo
It was being escorted by a Noisy Miner.
The upper part of the Lagoon area is rainforest. There are quite a few weeds here, but there are some beautiful tree ferns.
Here is a juvenile White-browed Scrubwren –
We followed the loop track in an anticlockwise direction.

The circuit finished off around lunchtime, just before it started raining. So we headed to a picnic table under cover on the Georges River in the National Park for lunch.
Once again, thanks to Brian for organising and leading such an interesting and enjoyable walk.
