8.30 AM MEET AT TWIN SERVOS EASTERN CREEK HEADING WEST. We will Meet in the truck parking area at the western end of the service stations. Basically, around the back and more toward the exit rather than where the Fast food outlets are. There will be plenty of parking here.

Continue through Winmalee.

10.30 AM ARRIVE AT HAWKESBURY LOOKOUT. Parking is available both sides of the road. The lookout has approx. 20 spots and plenty more across the road. I would suggest the more youthful park across the road and leave the main carpark for our senior members as it can be a busy road to cross. Spend Around 20 minutes here.
