We will visit the Boyer’s unusual garden following that either explore Adventure Bay or climb Mt Mangana, the highest point on Bruny Island, the walk is less than 2km each way with a climb of about 130 m. j The vegetation is mostly low rainforest, perhaps cloud forest, and there are some good views from the top. The track may be a bit rough in places.

Walk -Pelverata Falls

The falls drop off the western side of the Snug Tiers and mostly escaped the recent bushfire. The walk is about 3km each way and climbs gradually from Pelverata Road through a few different vegetation types. Most of the route is on old logging tracks but the last 0.5km is quite rough. It is a pleasant walk at any time of year. Meet 9.30am at Sandfly Memorial Ground (oval) for car pooling. Contact Christine Corbett if you are attending.
