Excursion to Cape Surville on Forestier Peninsula. 
There is a variety of habitats from heathland to fern-gullies, and grand scenery with 
fascinating geology. 
The choice of day for the excursion will be based on the weather outlook and decided 
upon at the Thursday meeting. Check the website for an update. 
We will initially be walking on a level 4WD track, then on a moderate bushwalking track 
which is well defined but steep in parts. Bring good boots, wet-weather gear and lunch.
