The next day walk for the Cartophiles Bushwalking Club follows the Great North Walk from Cowan Station to Jerusalem Bay on Cowan Creek.   Jerusalem Bay has one of the most iconic views along the Great North Walk, and this is good walk for kids.  It’s about 2.5 km each way.
We’ll meet in the car park at Cowan Station at 10.30am on Saturday 17th March.  The total walk will take about 3-4 hours, depending on how much time we spend having a picnic lunch overlooking the bay.
For more information go to 2012 Walk 4 (Jerusalem Bay).

The Cartophiles’ first two day walk of the year explores the heart of Heathcote National Park.  This is a great introductory walk for newcomers to hike camping.
This pretty walk includes camping at a very pleasant site near Heathcote Creek.  The trail is mostly flat.   The first day’s walk is 6¾ km from Waterfall Station to the Mirang Pool campsite.   The second day is just over 5km along fire trails and management trails to Heathcote Station.
We will meet at the Wahroonga Station at 7.30am on Saturday, 3rd March and should return there before 4.00 pm on Sunday 4th March.

I really can’t recommend The Turramurra Passion Play highly enough. The Play is an interactive and slightly modern interpretation of the Easter story, performed in and around the grounds of Turramurra Uniting Church. Based primarily on Luke’s Gospel from The Message translation, the play was first performed in 1999, and has developed over the following years. There are seven performances, from 23 March to 4 April. It’s free, but bookings are essential. Check out www.turramurrapassion.org.au for full details and to book.

‘Nicodemus’ is an Australian musical, produced and co-written by Matthew Adams, which provides an opportunity for our local church community to invite friends and family to a Gospel event that is not only entertaining and immensely enjoyable, but which also gives the opportunity for discussion afterwards. The musical will be presented in Belrose between March 21 and March 31, 2012. For more information, see www.stmattsweb.org.au/nicodemus.
