Next Hike

The next hike will be on Saturday, 25th May.

We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.

Last week instead of hiking a group of Trekkers spent the day working hard to clean up the flotsam and jetsam from a long stretch of beach not too far from Gillies Bay.  It was a job well worth doing as there was several pieces of boats, chunks of foam and assorted plastic items.  

My photo this week is a curious perennial wildlflower that has dainty cup shaped flowers with a fringe of white or pinkish petals.  Tellima grandiflora is not uncommon and prefers to grow in places with rich soil and plenty of moisture and we found it in a grassy area with masses of stinging nettle which also likes similar growing conditions.
