In November last year I wrote of an unfinished walk. My aim was to head up Mt Nebo, around to Mt Keira and then back down. Unfortunately the track had become overgrown in the jungle section beneath the old coal mine, forcing me to turn back. Since then, however, mountain bikers have re-established the trail. Yesterday I completed the full loop, but in the opposite direction. I started a bit late in the afternoon so didn’t get back home until after dark. As I descended down the last steep slope from the water tank to Valley Drive I startled a small herd of deer. They rushed in all directions. I could hear one of the young deer plaintively calling for its mother as I hurried down the grassy trail.
