Is there a better idea than staying in bed at dawn this winter? Of course there is! Nothing is better than to welcome the first light of the day amid crisp, blue sky and the fresh, cold morning air as the winter fog begins to dissipate.
Mornos (morning coffee/tea and light breakfast) is the way to start the day. The smell of freshly brewed coffee, gentle morning breeze and ambience of the bush is something one should anticipate with great relish. Aside from being another social platform for club members to meet and greet, mornos can help us better appreciate the virtues of living in the bush capital.
For this winter, mornos commence from 630 until around 800. Those keen to join can come and leave at anytime, but should bring their own coffee/tea and light breakfast to share among the group.
Unless stated otherwise (and depending on the weather), mornos take place every Wednesday on the spur above the "viewing platform" (https://goo.gl/maps/RbFrFDQoiDM2) located at the end of the Bushland Nature Walk (https://parksaustralia.gov.au/botanic-gardens/pub/bushland-nature-walk.pdf). Climb the spur by following the power lines toward the road. Alternatively (an easier option), we can assemble and walk together from Burgmann College Postgraduate Village (Googlemap coordinates: -35.279920, 149.112077) at 0615. I have access to Burgmann's rear gate located across the Botanic Garden.
PS. Leadership of this trip is based on a rotational basis. We may select a different leader for next week.
