There are some projects that begin with a good idea and end with a film.

Five people, including the leader, went on the Fig Tree Falls walk on the morning of Wednesday 7 January 2026. The weather was good, partly cloudy, unlike the south of the state in a heatwave. We got shuttled in a 4WD, thanks to Lyn’s partner John, from the meeting point on Dingo Creek Road to a point where Frontage Creek Rd branched off around the head of the creek. The moderate pace walk gave us time to chat with stops to hear forest birds and see many small whip snakes in the sunny spots. The palm forest beside the bubbling Frontage Creek was delightful. We looked at the sketchy, old bridge but gladly didn’t have to cross it the way we went. On to the top of Fig Tree Falls we spread out for our morning tea stop and took in the ambiance of the rainforest amphitheatre.
