View south past the volcanic core












Bowning Hill is on private property. A walk was held to raise funds for the Yass Valley SPIN Foundation- (Supporting People In Need). Those unable to make the ascent could be driven up and back by 4WD. The Firies were there. Hotdogs, cold drinks, coffee etc was on sale. Wow- people opening up their land, providing vehicles, support, helping everybody enjoy their hill and raise money. Five Stars!
