Taffy's rock

 

Dates: 17/10/2020

Participants: SUBW and me

The day didn't start well as the train didn't stop at Cowan station - where I was supposed to stop to meet the trip leader, Aidan. However, he picked me up at Hawkesbury river station, we had to catch up with John and the rest of our group as they already began walking to Jerusalem bay, part of the Great North Walk.

From Cowan Station, we walked to Jerusalem bay, which I already walked for my first solo walking trip. 

 

The scenery hadn't changed much since then. The only thing was, flowers were blooming and this brought a new perspective of the national park to me! 

We quickly regrouped with John and the rest at the bay. I followed John down to the water and John thought that he spotted a snake but it turned out to be an abandoned hat!

After a quick break, we continued our way along the Great North Walk. We got up from the bay to the path that would lead to Brooklyn Dam. 

However, instead of following that path, we walked into the bush along a fainter track. 

Along the way, there were a lot of rock piles stations, I wonder what are their usage? 

We quickly made our way to a lookout, John said that we were at the centre of the universe, awesome! 

 

We found a group of small boulders near by

After that, we arrived at another lookout, this time to Taffy's rock, where a group picture was taken, using my camera, what an honour!

Nearly there!

We arrived at Taffy's rock just right for lunchtime, I had a big egg and mayo sandwich while enjoying the view looking down to the river.

 

Taffy's rock is a rememberance for a bushwalker that had passed away. 

For me, a nice view always makes lunch tastes much better. Although the sky was cloudy, I still enjoyed a relaxing day out with the club.
