Jul	Sun 3rd	Wandoo Woodlands day trip A days outing meandering in the Wandoo Woodlands off Yarra Road. Good day for the ladies to take the wheel! Relaxed day traversing the many tracks in the Woodlands. There are plenty of wash outs and creek beds to keep you busy. For the more adventurous there is always Piggery Road or you can head back down the Power Lines but you are on your own if you decide to either, while you are getting bogged and muddy, we will be cooking up a sausage sizzle for lunch so bring some bangers, buns and something to wash it down with. Better bring a chair, weather permitting we may light a fire. If it is raining on the day we may have to postpone the day or find a pub to have lunch in, that is open for discussion. Meeting at the Lakes Road House @ 09:30hrs for a 10:00hrs departure. Address: Cnr Great Eastern Hwy & Great Southern Hwy, The Lakes Location: 16.6km East of Mundaring.
