Club member Kavita picked up this bargain at the Buy Swap and Sell night, a genuine 1950s billy can.

We often see snakes on walks.  A member saw 18 on his 36 day Australian Alpine Walking Track trip which he completed last weekend. What is rare is seeing two at once like these amorous Tiger Snakes on the Tesselate Range on 26 March. 

Only one person has been bitten in the 95 year history of the club, and the bite was not envenomated. 

Check the video below of a medium grade SBW walk on Saturday 12 March.

Video by Zoltan. Note the strong regrowth after the 2020 fires on the ridges.  It is obliterating the old pad to the top of the Pass. 

SBW got back out there on the first weekend of Freedom from lockdown. Try the Relive link below to see one of the walks, down the T3 to the Colo and up Tootie Creek in the Wollemi.

Relive is a fun app for bushwalking. This video was created by Zoltan using the Professional version of the app. There is a free version with fewer features. 

Want to know how and where to walk in the Colo ?

Last weekend, while setting up his tent on a huge sandy bank on The Colo, Mark dig up a tungsten spoon with the initials AJA, lost by our former VP on his epic 11 day solo hike through the Wollemi in October 2017. 

Winter, a great time to go walking in the Sydney Region. The Colo River gorge above Pass 7. Photo by Zoltan
