Red Hill Saturday
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
I figured I should post up a second ride for the people interesting in doing Red Hill on Saturday.
For those who haven't been before, I've been riding here since I was a kid, so don't worry about getting lost or not seeing anything. (Hopefully another Red Hill regular will turn up and show me some new stuff too)
Usual meeting spot at Lady Penryhn 8:00am, see you there.
Yellomundee Aboriginal Bushcare Plant ID, Ecology and Heritage day
There's a car park (click for foggy picture) on Springwood Road - just down the way from Hawkesbury Heights if you're looking for a suburb name.
For those that attended the IMBA soil erosion workshop last year, We briefly discussed with Rangers a workshop about plant id and local aboriginal cultural heritage.
Well here is the workshop that the rangers and local bushcare group have been working on.
A good opportunity to understand the plants and ecology that should and should not be on site, and better understand the cultural significance of the lands that we visit.
RSVP BY 14TH SEPTEMBER,2011. PHONE (02)45882400.
Narrow Neck Plateau
Corner of Glenraphael Dr and Cliff Dr, Katoomba.

Never ridden red hill before and have always wanted to. Hopefully a few experienced riders can guide and show us the good stuff. Socal pace, not training for anything, just having fun.
Have no idea how long the ride will be as i've never ridden there.
Thanks everyone and see you there..
