I was very keen to do the 3km hike, but I probably did 1.5km because I was mindful of the weather that looked like it would start to rain 🌧 any moment.
I passed some people during the hike, and others on bike came riding past since it is bike riding hike also.
I was curious at the on the tree that reads Picton Dawn Chorus. When I checked briefly online, I saw it is an initiative to preserve the Dawn Chorus birds.

It was an easy walk, not too steep. I returned to my motel, happy and feeling refreshed.
