Leader: Heather Lakiss RSVP direct to heatherlakiss@gmail.com We will take the Management Trail from the bottom of Kitchener Street, leading up to the Wildflower Garden. There are two sculpture displays on at this time, after viewing, we will have morning tea. Coffee can be purchased at the Information Centre where you can meet the snake and frilled-necked lizard, see the bush flower display board, look at the native plants for sale and meander around some pathways. We will then take the trail to St Ives Showground, which initially has a loose stone surface. There we can see TreeTops have a look around and have our packed lunch and then return to the WFG taking in a couple of different short trails. Bring snacks and lunch. From the WFG we will exit onto, and walk along, Mona Vale Road before crossing MVR to return by bus to the station or walk to Kitchener Road if you come by car. Limit:10.
