Kameruka Bushwalking Club Reunion 15-16 October 2014
I was a member of the Kameruka Bushwalking Club during the mid-late
1970's and they were having a reunion at Blackheath.
The festivities began with a slide show on the evening of the 15th.
This was organised by Jack Pettigrew.
On the morning of the 16th, I got up early and headed out to Govetts
Leap Lookout for the sunrise. Photos can
be viewed here.
Then, into Blackheath for breakfast and then a nice walk with some
of the Kamermukans down Popes Glen and around the cliff-top track to
near Pulpit Rock before heading back to Govetts Leap and meeting a
lot more Kamerukans and then walking to the top of Bridal Veil
Falls. Then some of us headed up the Braeside Walk.
Back at the Caravan Park, there was then a "Bushwalking Museum" of
old bushwalking equipment, songbooks and maps. We then headed off to
a nice dinner.
