Enjoyed the variety and add on options if there is still time and energy left. Due to recent rain there was an outbreak of mozzies today. Likely not the case at other times. | ||||

Medium |
21km 7 hrs |

An absolute experience with the current weather. The few showers added a sparkling to the leaves after the sun came out again, a trickling of water in many crevices and gullies, from the valleys formed clouds of mist that drifted upwards, I did not even overly sweat. Lesson: don't stay home if they forecast a few showers! | ||||

I did not expect much and was pleased by what I got. Peaceful, some nice views over the water with the mountain range as backdrop, water lilies, plenty of butterflies, two trickling creeks and a bit greenery in the bush after recent rains. Well maintained day use area. No regrets. It's dry aussie bush after all. | ||||
