Saturday Reunion Hike at Lesmurdie Falls ⚜️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

After WA eases its CoVid19 restrictions, this was our first face to face meeting in 3 months. And we are glad we chose Lesmurdie Falls which was pumping with water after recent rainfall!🌧💦

The youths and parents met early at the top of the waterfall carpark and made their way to the lookout . Guided by our Venerable MiaoLi, the group arrived at the lookout admiring its wonderful waterfall!! We are so lucky to be able to hike freely in WA.

At that point, the Joeys were suppose to turn back and follow the easier cascade route but seeing the Scout and Cub section progressing down to the foot of the falls, the Joeys wanted in too! And a courageous bunch they are.. down they went quickly catching up to the other youths. Once the group reached the bottom, everyone was so excited, youths were playing in the pools, parents taking photos and just enjoying its beauty 😍.

Everyone took a quick break before heading back up the slippery and rocky steps. Though we did not loose any youths, there were a few slips and scrapes on the way up.. nothing a quick wash and antiseptic cream can't fix... onwards and 🆙 upwards they go.. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

Once back at HQ (aka top of the falls carpark), the youths just started digging into their lunch and hot milo.. yum! A quick review and planning session followed whilst the parents gained their strength and had a quick lunch🥪. Thereafter, everyone pitched in and packed up HQ. Just as we finished and left, the heavens opened up and poured more rain🌧.. Lucky we are!
