| 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. | ||||
