Start your Friday mornings right with a beautiful social bushwalk through Bruce Ridge on the Gossan Hill Circuit. The walk is a loop track that takes about an hour (approx 3.1 kms) and finishes back where it starts on College Street. Join us for an optional free coffee at cafe Mizzuna at the end! 

On this walk you can see wallabies, kangaroos, kookaburras and cockatoos and amazing views of Black Mountain Tower. Come and meet like-minded people for an easy-moderate walk while enjoying some exercise and nature!

If you would like to join us, all you need to do is register so that we know you're coming and meet us there on Friday.
