On July 4th, a beautiful clear sunny winter’s day 17 members set out about 9:45 am to walk to Eagle Rock and Curracurrong Falls. The first section of the track was down
h January 2010. We have forwarded a photo but unfortunately we didn’t get a close up
Participants were obviously not put off by the adverse weather reports nor the 13km distance, as 21 people checked in at Thornleigh Station for the walk down Lane Cove Valley.
Founded on 7th December 1955 O.F.F. celebrated it’s 50th birthday on 7th December 2005 with a picnic in Oatley Park. To mark the occasion, the Myra Walled Garden was replanted by O.F.F. members.
Our first known sighting of a Jabiru in the Georges River area was made a few weeks ago by Debbie Andrew. Her spectacular photograph of this magnificent bird was taken at the Illawong Point mudflats.
