Fair Dinkum

Forgot to mention it earlier, but on the way back from the wollangambe crater at Mt Victoria train station I heard some local use the words "fair dinkum" in a non sarcastic manner. Goes to show how dramatically people change as you head out into the countryside.

Wollangambe Crater

Took half a day off on friday an decided to go for a walk to the Wollangambe crater. It is an actual asteroid crater although due to its age it looks more like a large depression with a swap in the middle.
The walk is quite short, about 5 hours to the crater, but contained some mildly tricky navigation and a bit of scrub to make it more of a challenge.

Day walk in the royal

Saw quite few little criters on this day walk in the royal. Of particular interest was a lovely heath monitor that was very friendly and let me get close enough to fumble off a few mediocre photos.
