This Olympic Size pool is quite amazing. However, you need to walk 10 km with a climb of 300 m to enjoy this pool. On the way back, we'll also walk past other pools and you can wade/swim to cool down more. Bring a change of clothing just in case.  The track may be very wet or have fallen branches etc after the recent torrential rain, and more underway, although the water level should be lowered by Sunday. An orchid expert will be with us to help us find and identify native orchids. Steep and slippery sections Location: Royal NP Limit: 15. View

Unfortunately, Newnes was flooded on 17 February, with water and debris blocking all drains, so the place is a mess. What needs to be done: Thomas would like help to clean up the debris and ash water has dumped. Skills required: no special skills required. Tools to bring: Rakes, mattocks. Note these is not a club activity. Everyone volunteers on their own accord.

Tools to bring: See above re chainsaws; plus secateurs and rakes, although there are some on the property. Group limit: We have people for light duties already.
