A fine and sunny morning, then overcast in the afternoon. No breeze at all and no noise most of the day. It was so tranquil it was almost surreal.
We were approaching the Mt Crawford forest, so the theme for this walk was "Woods".
Dean's usual flag was replaced by several small stuffed animals, including teddy bears. Why?
Well, if you go down to the woods today...........
Morris Minus made his first appearance for the year, surprisingly without radical changes to his costume. However Morris had a companion - a flying possum named Super Morris Major.
MM was awarded to Neville Haar for his outstanding detective work and hilarious debunking of the fire ban announcement by Dean prior to the final walk in October last year.
Morning tea was on the Ross Firetrack and lunch was at Freemans Hut.
We covered 22km in total today, which included the walk in and out to Freemans Hut. Points of special interest were the beautiful gum trees that flanked us in the morning, a dead snake on the road, bulls in the paddocks we passed, and lots of mushrooms.

Our not-so-camera-shy President cheekily demanded a photo be taken of him enjoying the serenity:

After morning tea, we enjoyed rolling hills, valleys and beautiful countryside:
