    Save Kosci walk: day 17. At 18.8km a shorter day, with the highlight being a catered afternon tea at historic Merigan Homestead. We vary 3km from the most direct route, in order to avoid extended narrow verges on the Tarago-Bungendore Rd. Instead the route follows the Braidwood Road for 8.4km (less busy than the Kings Hwy and better verges), then takes the quieter Mt Fairy Road, initially sealed but later gravel, for a 7.6km wander though a varied rural landscape with pleasant views. Arriving at Merigan Homestead, around 2:30pm, we meet a bunch of local walkers for afternoon tea & a short talk on the station’s history by the owner Tim de Mestre. Then join the local walkers for 2.7km on farm road through an avenue of deciduous trees to the Merigan boundary, with a good viewpoint on the way. Return the 2.7km to the homestead in the support car(s). Overnight at the homestead, either very comfortable accommodation in the renovated ‘Maids quarters’ indoors, or camping. Dinner is roast local lamb and salads at $15.50 a head. For more info and to register go to https://savekosci.org/
