[this walk was before we started sending out structured and systematic walks notes]
Beautiful spring weather! A great time to visit Lees Paddocks, a buttongrass plain in the upper Mersey area, close to the Overland Track and surrounded by Cathedral Mt, Pelion East and Mt. Pillinger. The picturesque Lees Hut is well worth visiting. Short side trips to approx. 3 scenic waterfalls will be made along the way. Track to Lees Hut is approx. 16 km return, but relatively flat (less than 100 metres gain in altitude). Track conditions vary, and can be a little rough underfoot in places, but NO scrub!

Walk leader is Terry Heier. Meeting place is Door of Hope carpark in Launceston at 7 am. Terry will be out on Thursday evening so would be good if people could ccontact him earlier in the week.
If you prefer to meet with Terry on the way, he is likely to be at Mole Creek by 7:45-7:50 am, and Devils Gullet turnoff by about 8 am, but please arrange this with Terry.
