The Friends of Hollywood Reserve showed us around ... everyone enjoyed the blaze of colour ... and impressed by the work being done here ...

... and the morning tea provided by Friends of Hollywood and Council ... thanks!

Heidi Hardisty showed us around the amazing work done by the Friends of Lake Claremont over the past 12 years ... reminded me of how long it is since I have been here ... the place is barely recognizable from the days we used to walk along the golf course which went right up to the water's edge. Thanks to Heidi and Soozie Ross for hospitality at the Friends of Lake Claremont shed.

We ran out of time to get to the top of Reabold Hill for afternoon tea ... so had a brief stop at this lookout in Bold Park ... only 2km back  (as the crow flies) ...
