National Park Adventures

The morning was once again something special and its hard to tell the difference between the sound of water falling or wind. The wildlife is everywhere and its has become far more attached to us than we thought, while we watch them they attach themselves to us. This we found out after a simple sock change scared the shit out of both of us when a leech was found bloated after a good nights work, luckily attached to Tina’s leg. Greenies we may be but we are not quite ready to share yet. We stoked up the fire and boiled some of waterfall water for coffee had some breakfast and headed off again

A good 4WD practice track but then another new road obstacle, this time a fallen tree. Luckily a local Cocky was there, Chainsaw in hand and it was soon moved. We spent 10 or so minutes like we so often seem to do talking to the farmer and his wife, (who was actually giving orders as to which bit to cut) about government, the local environment, and just about bloody life as we see it in general, say goodbye and drive off. 10 in the morning and we have done all this stuff already.

We were going to do the National Park stuff today starting at Boonoo Boonoo falls. We walked to the falls which is 210m drop, 1,200m above sea level and is the same type of granite stone country that we seem for the last few days and it is very spectacular.
