 LEADER: Lynne Hewitt: Take ferry to Rose Bay to visit Coopers Park, Blackburn Gardens and Redleaf Gallery. Cooper Park is a large bushland reserve with many walking tracks and recreational facilities available. Cooper Park's worth as a recreation area was recognised as far back as 1885 when the Government was asked to purchase land from the Cooper Estate for recreational purposes. It was not until 1913 that Sir William Cooper agreed to give the whole of the gully from Victoria Road, Bellevue Hill to Manning Road, Double Bay to the Council as a park. Subsequent additions over the years have brought the Park up to its present area of 38 acres (15 ha.) The creek running through the Park is largely natural and follows the line of a volcanic dyke of the Jurassic age while the hillsides support a wide variety of native trees and shrubs. Development over the years included extensive walking tracks/paths, with shelter sheds built and picnic areas laid out.

| The track meanders through the beautiful bushland of Sheldon Forest, along ridge tops, through open forest on the hill slopes and down to the creek side, following a stream that boasts a number of small waterfalls. The forest is one of the few remaining pieces of the Blue Gum high forest in the Sydney Basin. It is of high conservation status because it contains some of the last remnants of the endangered ecological communities. Echidnas, bowerbirds, water dragons, golden whistlers, pardalotes and powerful owls have been seen. At this time of the year, expect to see the Bonnet Orchids, Hyacinths and other flowers. We will check out Rofe Park as well. Steep and slippery sections

 NPA Xmas party followed by a walk. It's the time of the year walkers of all abilities get together. Over the years, some of us have walked faster and harder than ever. Some of us have slowed down. It is an opportunity for us to catch up with old friends and make new friends. We have been shunned by Covid restrictions in the last couple of years. 2022 has no restriction. We will still keep a safe distance though. Venue TBA
