Part #5 in Adventures with M On-Line (my grandson Bailey thinks I should create another blog solely for my on-line shopping reviews!).  I found this product on Facebook (of all places), the owners must have invested in a bit of social media advertising and it definitely worked for me.

Return to Sugee Bag Creek #3 – still more unfinished business

DHARUG NATIONAL PARK – 3 September 2020
Back in June 2020, we found that a track shown on the topo map went further upstream than shown or expected.  We decided that we should go back and check it out to see where it ended – a bit of unfinished business.  So, for one of my Thursday off track walks (mainly to maintain my fitness), I slotted in a return to this area.  It looked like being a hot day, fortunately there was plenty of water around.

WATAGANS NP – 27 August 2020
I did not have high expectations for this day walk, and when describing the walk to the proposed participants  I didn’t want to oversell so probably made it sound awful, but they were undeterred, despite the 300m descent and ascent.  But best of all, I had three people who hadn’t walked with me before, and I may even see them again despite the walk being a bit harder than expected.
