Royal National Park to Stanwell Tops then down the Escarpment to Wollongong then
up to Robertson for lunch then onto Moss Vale and returning to Central . This trip is

enough interest in the trip. I have been advised we may have a Carriage for just our
Group. Cost is normally $90 and we can have it for $80 ph. I will take a hands up for
this at our Meeting today and make the decision if it will be worth while.Santa will be
onboard.!!!
