This was a SUBW walk from Mt Victoria out to Victoria Falls Lookout,
and then to Burra Korain Flat and the Grose River. The river was
then followed downstream to Blue Gum Forest. There, we met up with a
large group of bushwalkers celebrating the 80th anniversary of the
reservation of Blue Gum Forest.
I was joined on the walk by Robert from SUBW.

Triangle Slug. It eats mould and algae on the bark - keeping the
bark nice and clean!
