President’s Report
Last week’s walk from Circular Quay to Barangaroo and Darling Harbour was extremely enjoyable. The Harbour views were fantastic as always. A lovely lunch was held at The Little Snail near Pyrmont Bridge. Ten very happy diners.
Oriel returns from holidays in time to organise us for the November walk from Bronte to Bondi. While I have enjoyed organising the walks, I am happy Oriel will be back soon.
