      Door prizes to win.
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. Bring your lunch and something to share. Memorial Park is a 9 minutes walk from Meadowbank Station. If you wish to walk with others, meet at the station at 11 am. Lunch starts at 11:45 but it is nice to arrive early to mingle and hold the shelters for our party.

| LEADER: Philip Wright: See Costa's video: https://vimeo.com/759335207 Take ferry to Rose Bay to visit Coopers Park, Blackburn Gardens and Woollahra 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. Enjoy an ice cream and a swim at the end. Catch ferry or bus back to the city. Some muddy sections. Some steep climb
T: Take ferry from Circular Quay at 9:05 am, arriving Rose Bay at 9:15 am

Also bring along swimmers and if you feel like it, snorkelling gear. This is basically a Christmas party get together for all my walking friends in the NPA. Too much sun?
