STEELS CREEK CLAMBERERS

Clamberers provide a series of monthly walks from March to November each year in nearby and regional locations. The walks provide an opportunity to gently explore or re-visit some of our beautiful bushland and other areas, in good company, normally on the last Sunday in each month.

We do not have walks scheduled during the hotter months of December, January or February. Our next walk will therefore be at the end of March 2011, and details will be circulated to 'Registered Clamberers', announced at Steels Creek Community Markets and included in further additions of 'The Jolly Thing'.

Contact:

It is proposed to again set up a program of walks for 2011. This will need to be compiled between December 2010 and February 2011 by email. Suggested walks (and walk 'leaders') will be sought, and matched with dates, and the program can then be circulated.

If you would like to receive this information but have not been doing so, or wish to organise a wlak for the group, please register your details by contacting Robyn Allan at 0409 139 371 or by e-mail

CLAMBERERS VENTURE FURTHER AFIELD IN 2010

In August the Clamberers group decided to widen our horizons and see some totally different scenery, so a weekend to Phillip Island was organised. On the Saturday we did a walk around Cape Woolamai and on Sunday we followed the George Bass Coastal Trail between San Remo and Kilcunda. Both are fantastic walks following the cliff tops and providing wonderful coastal scenery and even some diversions where walking along the beach was a pleasant experience.

On the Saturday night we had a group dinner where we caught up with Bronwyn and Ray Dalstrom who now live at Inverloch.

The group sends a big thankyou to Joanne Spears and Louise Ferguson for organising accommodation that helped to make the weekend such a wonderful success, and to Rob and Bev Huntley for planning of the walks.

Pictures from the September 25th assault on Mt Jerusalem via the south ridge

For the September Clamberers walk, six intrepid walkers pioneered a previously unexplored route to the summit of Mt Jerusalem, but way of the un-tracked South Ridge. This included following a compass course due north from Girraween through untracked scrub and across Dry Creek, then a steep climb for a couple of hundred metres through bracken and light scrub. For the following hour, the ridge continued to climb northward, but less steeply and with open tree vegetation . Lunch was taken just south of the summit of Mt Jerusalem, with good views to the south-east as far as Tokar and Oakridge wineries in Gruyere, and beyond. Returning along the Mt Jerusalem fire trail, many grass trees, native orchids and other wild flowers were observed.
