Wildflowers Picnic Sunday 21st September 2008 Winifred Falls this year We will meet near the moorings at South west arm at around 1000 hrs where we can anchor the yachts or arrive in tenders and then at 1100 hrs proceed upriver towards Winifred Falls. The flowers were excellent on our last two excursions; to Muddy creek last year and beyond the basin into Cabbage Tree Creek three years ago. This will be another picnic that we should do in fine style, so be prepared for the judges and some prizes. The Plan: We will anchor the yachts (or moor) at South West arm from 1000hrs. I need everyone ready in their dinghies to leave the mooring area at 1100hrs. We will proceed as a group to the head of navigation where we will set up the picnic area. Those that wish to hike to Winifred Falls in search of Wildflowers or go in any other direction can do so. There will be some that cannot do the hiking so they can enjoy the bush around the picnic area. We will need to leave around 1500hrs. Those that need to get back early should be back on their moorings by 1600hrs. The remainder may like to raft up for the remainder of the afternoon or even stay overnight. Don't forget your cameras.

Thanks very much for organising another great day. Very much appreciated by us all for all the work you do. Peter Rochaix Good morning. A short note to thank you for the organisation yesterday. It must have been trying to find weather suitable for Wattamolla. I realised later that my email yesterday did not account for the swell (which ruled out the journey south). Thanks again for all your efforts, Keith Wilson.
