Short reports from some Tuesday walks:

Our walk to Horne Point, Witches Glen and Pulpit Rock started with a very foggy morning at Mount Vic station but the weather magically cleared as we arrived at the first of several lookouts revealing farms and creeks 350 metres directly below us. A lovely walk.
