We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last week we hiked through the forest from the Oasis to the Airport down to Coxs Lagoon and along the beach towards the Sandbanks. After lunch we returned via the Airport and Paxton Lake to the Oasis, although some of us more directly than others. I have found from personal experienc that on dull days it is easy to lose one's sense of direction when hiking through trail-less forest, and end up coming back to the place you started from. It does help to have a compass handy provided you know which direction you need to be heading in if you expect to get there.
My photo this week is of a fairly common, but poisonous, mushroom. This is Amanita muscaria, common name Fly Agaric, with an orange cap. The colour of the cap in this species is sometimes red with white warts and patches rather than yellow or orange with white scales and warts.
