Forest loop again

Went for a week walk around the forest loop last weekend with Adelle, Ruth and Nicola. There was not much wildlife about so we spent most of the time getting attacked by leeches and clambering over rocks and logs.

Barren

Allan and went for a wander around the Barren grounds nature reserve on Sunday. The weather was perfect with low cloud enveloping the reserve ensuring it was nice and cool and allowing us to do a 20 km walk without the threat of heat stroke.

Sadly the only things we saw were a few tadpoles and a bassian thrush.

Too hot in the Royal

My brother and his family drove up from Melbourne a few weeks ago for a quick visit on their way up to Queensland for a holiday.

Sadly while they were here the weather was horribly hot and sticky but we did go for a picnic in the Royal National park and then did quite badly at trying to find a beach.
