‘Where is Captain Lee Weller?’ Walk in Glenbrook

Learn the fascinating true story of Captain Lee Weller’s disappearance and spot native orchids in bloom as you set off through Glenbrook.

It is October 1896 and Captain Lee Weller seems to be missing.

His friend and his landlady haven’t heard from him for some time. He set off to go gold prospecting in the Glenbrook area of the Blue Mountains and was last seen in the company of a man named Butler but has not been seen since. Police were called to conduct a search… but what did they find?

Join in to hear what happens afterwards, as the fascinating story of Captain Lee Weller unfolds.

Be accompanied on this leisurely walk by the Co-ordinator of the Plant Study Group of the Blue Mountains Conservation Society, Helen, who is also a volunteer at Norman Lindsay Gallery. Helen will help us to spot any native ground orchids which may be flowering at this time of the year, including: Tiger Orchid, Nodding Greenhood, Red Beard Orchids, Snake Orchid, Pink Lady fingers or even the Waxlip Orchid.

Tea, coffee and delicious biscuits included.
