Sunday Walk: Tarn Shelf, Mt Field

From Lake Dobson the walk will climb to the ski field then across toward Tarn Shelf and as far along the shelf as we feel like going. There is a huge diversity of vegetation on this walk, including the lush forest beside Lake Dobson. Depending how far we go this walk could be 8km, a lot of uphill (over 300m ascent), some rough track. Contact Christine Corbett

Excursion: Pipeline Track, Neika to Fern Tree

An easy downhill stroll of 4.5km on a good track, with diverse vegetation and some geological interest. Contact Keith Corbett

Guest Speaker Katherine Tuft, CEO of Tasmanian Land Conservancy, will talk
about the work of TLC with a bias towards the botanical aspects which are
important in all TLC reserves and critically important in some of them.

Contact : Louise Skabo

Location: Max Fry Hall, 60 Gorge Road Trevallyn : Sales commence at 9.45am and continues until sold out

Excursion: Peter Murrell Reserve, Kingston

A stroll through this well-known reserve which has such a wide range of
species and vegetation communities. More details later.

Sunday Walk: Bev’s Lookout , South Bruny

The Slide Track is the remains of a timber tramway (easy gradient) that heads south behind Adventure Bay and passes through forest from dry to wet sclerophyll. A branch track then diverts towards the coast through rainforest and some steeper sections before emerging above the coastal cliffs. 8km, 200 m ascent, mostly good track but some steep sections. More details later

Guest Speaker Hugh McGregor has researched feral cats in diverse parts of
Australia and will talk to us about the devastating impact they
have on small native animals in all habitats.

Excursion: Inala Gondwanan Garden, Bruny Island

Subject to confirmation we hope to be able to visit this impressive garden of plant species
from all the land masses that were originally part of Gondwana (South America,
New Zealand, Australia, South Africa). More details later.

Sunday Walk: Snug Tiers

Most of the Snug Tiers were badly burned in January 2025. We plan to have a look at how the regeneration is progressing. The walk begins with a steady climb up a south-facing hillside with the sort of moist-environment vegetation to be expected in such places. Once we reach the plateau the first few hundred metres escaped the fire and show a different vegetation community. Then we get into the burned area and what we will see is hard to predict - that’s why it should be interesting. The walk is entirely on 4WD roads but the initial climb is a big hill, 250m height gain. How far we go depends on you but unlikely to be more than 6km total.

Sunday Walk: Poverty Point, south of Cygnet

A walk along or close to the shoreline of the Huon estuary with the diversity
of vegetation to be expected in such places, and some geological interest too.
A repeat of a walk from about a year ago.

Robyn Tuft will talk about the vegetation of the Kosciusko alpine region
and contrast it with Tasmania’s alpine areas, including the effects of the contrasting seasons.
