This is a combined activity with Menai Wildflower Group (MWG) who will guide us to the site. Parkesvale is in the Georges River National Park and is accessed from Heathcote Road. The walk is about 1.2km each way, starting at the Sandy Point Community Centre car park (200 St George Crescent, Sandy Point) and is mostly on a fire trail along the southern bank of the Georges River. A short section is on a bush track which is sometimes muddy and there is an optional side trip, of about 50m on a rough track, to an indigenous rock art site. Parkesvale was established by the Sandbrook brothers of Camperdown 1899 as a pleasure ground and night-time dance venue on the Georges River with up to 800 patrons reported dancing there to a band on a Saturday night. It operated until about 1912 with patrons conveyed to Parkesvale, from Como Station, by the paddlewheel steam ferry Telephone, the largest ferry to ever ply the Georges River. Located in the reserve is: Native flora in the Georges River National Park Archaeological remains of the infrastructure associated with Parkesvale Scant remains of the paddle steamer Telephone, now sadly degraded by 4x4 vehicles An indigenous shelter containing multiple handprints is a short detour from the path Contact leader for more details.

19 Aug, Sat 9:30AM			Rhodes, Cabarita, Mortlake Ferry

A scenic and relaxed pace ride on cycle paths and cycle routes around the foreshore. Passing through historical properties, then cross over on the punt. Return to the start over John Whitton Bridge. There are train stations along the way if you prefer a shorter ride or getting tired. Unfortunately, riding an e-bike on this trip will mean that you are not covered under NPA club insurance; Bushwalking Australia is working to see if it can be covered for future trips. Mostly on cycle paths, but some road crossings with vehicle traffic. Be aware of other track users, debris /damage/uneven path, and possible mechanical failers. Limit: 10. View
