We have visited Chanucy Vale a number of times the last being in 2023.
The weather forecast is overcast and cool which should mean perfect walking weather.
The group heading up to the track from the carpark.
The first thing we notice is the all the grasses are quite wet from the overnight rain, the first we have had for quite a few weeks.
Some of the locals depicted on an old tree stump.
The group checking out a new bridge across the creek.
Some even tried it for size.
Those with an engineering bent discussing the construction.
Eve's Bath showing the results of a lack of rainfall.
Hand stencils on a burnt tree trunk.
The forest that the track goes through shedding its old bark.
Possibly discussing who should go first through the wet undergrowth with no-one prepared to don the waterproofs.
Another larger tree that has shed its outer bark.
Still climbing.
Just after entering the small rainforest area we came across these Mountain Currant bushes that were completely covered with fruit.
The berries distracted a number of the group who were interested in their taste.
The track through the rainforest.
Water droplets on a eucalypt leaf.
We finally arrived at the not quite Flat Rock Lookout for lunch where most of us dried out from walking through wet undergrowth.
Heading back down the hill.
We followed the sign into Guvy's Lagoon where we spent some time discussing whether it could be a lagoon when it had no water.
Heading back across the second last bridge over the creek.
We had 17 walkers who covered 14.7km in 5 hours climbing and descending approx 500 meters.
An enjoyable walk through some varied landscapes.
