COMING EVENTS WEDNESDAY 13 th JANUARY DUTTON PARK to ROMA STREET Stn Via HIGHGATE HILL & BOUNDARY St STROLL Leader: Wayne Bullock Ph: 0419 665 317. Meet at: Dutton Park Place Bus Station - Dutton Park side of the Eleanor Schonell Bridge. Time: 4.00pm. Cost: Free. Grading: S21. Distance: 7km. Duration: 2 hours. Location: Highgate Hill, West End, South Brisbane, & The City. Emergency Officer: Wayne Ph: 0419 665 317. Bring this number with you. This Stroll will start at one of our favourite places – Dutton Park Place Busway stop, then go downhill to the path across the park and onto St Ita’s. Soon, we go down towards the River and explore the back streets of Highgate Hill. Very old houses and surprising gullies going down to the River blocking our path. One is almost full of rainforest. There are paths and easements to help us through. At this point, the party will go parallel to the River, at times going down to make sure it is still there. Once we get to Boundary St, we will follow it all the way from River to River – West End to South Brisbane. I bet you have never even driven the full length of Boundary Street, let alone Strolled it. -one great feet for you on this day. Once behind the Pauls milk factory at Sth Brisbane, the group will head to the Kurilpa Bridge and go over it to the back entrance of Roma Street Station. A lovely short Stroll over territory you have never explored or knew existed. Lovely old houses, gracious colonial trees, green palms, extensive views, narrow easements, rainforest gullies, old shops, busy restaurants, factories, building sites, and more. See you there. Greg.
