Yesterday’s OFF members enjoyed a walk through ‘The Forest Path’ in the Royal National Park. Enjoying the spring walk through the rainforest, with lots of large cabbage tree palms, an amazing variety of tall eucalyptus trees and ferns. They heard and saw many playful rosellas, king parrots, finches, curious currawongs, and a delightful and enquzitve lyre bird.
