Mole Creek

Firstly let me say got to love a place that they name Mole Creek (Ha Ha, i'm such a child)

We drove to Lake St Clair and had a look around a nice walk to Nelson falls. It is quite cold again today we found a 4WD track to lake King William but it was also bloody cold there. We found a spot on the outlet between the two lakes and started a fire to keep warm. And hot soup for lunch. It was really cold tonight so even in the car it was a bit chilly.

There are no towns for over 100km that have shops for food supplies so we drove to Deloraine and the hope of fixing the canoe rack. After driving around for a while we found a place that can fix it on Thursday, so we drove to Mole creek to check it out. They have an underground national park, there are caves here. We drove around and found a turnoff into the Mole Creek Krast NP and found a beaut little spot off the road on the side of a river.
Tried some fly fishing and got treated to Tina taking an accidental swim while trying to cross the river. I have not mentioned that the water is ice cold! Lost a shoe but it was retrieved down the river. We are back up in the mountains and the rainforest landscape has returned, but more bush gums etc. than Tropical with ferns etc.
We listened to JJJ & the Aussie win at cricket.

Bloody Big trees!!

A warmer morning greeted us and we had breaky and were off early to Marakoopa Caves for an underground tour


These caves are truly a sight to see with the stalagmites & and tites. We stopped off on the honey factory on the way back to Deloraine and checked into the caravan park. We are not really in need of power but today we have to take off the broken canoe rack and make new brackets. It all went quite well but lets wait and see how well it fits back on after is it welded up.
