The weather has been alternately too hot and too wet for enjoyable walking, for what feels like months, but I couldn’t resist going down to the Town Common yesterday morning. It’s looking very lush after the rain (about 1300 mm between Jan 28 and Feb 12) but it has dried out well. The road in to Freshwater Lagoon was already open again, somewhat to my surprise, although the road to the Quarantine Station wasn’t.

I chose to walk in from Pallarenda to Tegoora Rock anyway, and turned left towards Freshwater at the track junction. (I didn’t walk up to the lookout this time although it’s the best spot for views of the park.)
