A testy 5Km trek for the 10 of us around Stony Hill Park. A great new walk for the group suggested by Derek with fantastic ocean views, a great lunch at the Genoa Bay Café with an interesting and informative finish at the Historic Old Mill house. Too many photos to publish them all. Map and photos below. -- DeNNis

Rick choosing his utensils. |
Spotted in the garden of the old Mill House. |
This square grand piano is in the old Mill house - |
- along with many antiques too numerous to mention. |
Interesting story on why/how this boat hull is on the ceiling? |
