    Christmas is too far away. Why don't we have a Christamas in July? It is certainly cold enough to be a Northern Hemisphere Xmas. Bring some food and drinks to share at the Kokoda picnic shelter. You can even purchase them in Rhodes, without having to prepare them at home. There is a Woolworths opposite Rhodes station. There is also Coles and other take away food in Rhodes shopping centre and cafes close by. After the Christmas in July picnic lunch, there will be two walks. 1. we will walk the Kokoda Memorial walkway to Olwen's Corner and follow along the river to Rocky Point and Major's Bay then return. 12 km 2. We continue to Cabarita to catch the ferry. 8km
As we can't book the picnic shed, we would like to ask volunteers to go there early to hold all the tables. Thank you for your help
