Coolah Tops

It was hot, riddled with flies and very nice.
On Friday Allan, Iain, Leon and I headed out to Coolah tops national park.
The park is particularly good for mammals with Hundreds of Kangaroos as well as wallabies, gliders and echidnas. Unfortunately there were also a lot of goats, pigs and foxes about.

Thunderbox
Made you scared of weet bix

Flies
There were a few flies around, they were also overly fond of orifices.

Sunrise Coolah

Skanky cave
There was supposed to be bats in this cave but the only thing we found were about a centuries worth of goat droppings.

Scramble
On the way to the cave there were some interesting sections to negotiate.

Picnic
Breakfast.
