We showed our friends Ellen and Paris a new walk yesterday from Smethurst Rd KVR parking to Arawana Station. We waited for the train to take us back but it never came. It was perfect for walking, around 15 degrees C, we were lucky because in the afternoon it rained quite heavily. The cherry orchardists are concerned here because cherries can split if they get wet, so they will have to get their helicopters out again tomorrow to dry them off ! It only costs eight to fifteen hundred dollars an hour !! Talking about trees, did you know that a law was passed in 1981 in China decreeing that every person in the land has to plant and tend three trees a year, from age 11 to age 60? What a lot of trees! In fact, in 2008 they planted two and a half times as many trees as the rest of the world did! Unfortunately they are cutting down tropical forests to grow palm oil so it kind of negates the beneficial effect somewhat...
Meanwhile for reasons only known to journalists the name Anders Behring Breivik has unfortunately become world famous......

If the train didn't come, did that mean you had to do twice the length of walk you'd planned? Lucky it wasn't too hot.
I have news for you : it didn't come because someone has stolen the track.
You two are very observant!
What a beautiful trail to walk. Hope the cherries tried out.
