Eleven of us gathered at the Information Centre, Binna Burra. It was perfect walking weather. Our group included two new members - Bruce and Helen on their first walk and two visitors - Allison and Brendan.

We set off on the well graded Caves track passing Kweebani Cave. After an hour we emerged on the road at Binna Burra opposite Ship Stern track.

We headed on and stopped for morning tea at Bellbird Lookout. An ideal spot with excellent views.

From here we descended into the valley and our group gave assistance to a man who had fallen and landed 3m below the track in the scrub. He was shaken but not injured. His friend was thankful for our help.

Our group stopped for lunch at the falls on Bellbird Creek. After lunch it was a short distance to the former dairy farm below Binna Burra which is now heavily covered in lantana.

We returned to our cars passing the recently opened Great Walk Track and drove back to Canungra for refreshments at the Outpost Cafe.

Thanks to all for a very enjoyable walk.Noelene
