Box

I measured the box and it came to a glorious 55 m2. Not too bad for a peasant like me but it would be nice to have something a little larger. Sadly everything in my price range tends to be one and a half hours commute from work such as this gem. Might just have to wait till the market collapses or just move back to NZ.

Leechey Easter

Over Easter Adelle and I decided to do a three day walk in the blue mountains. Sadly with the first 4 hours being a leechey, nettley hell my keen tramping partner became phenomenally less enthusiastic. Mind you the leeches were considerably worse than I have ever encountered before with half a dozen crawling over your shoes at any moment and a bit of blood was lost. Therefore, we decided to cut out a day and just camped at frying pan flat. The next day we pushed out to the end of breakfast creek passing some confused punters that thought they were walking down the Cox's river and headed up ironmonger spur and out, stopping only to fall over a few times.

We jaunt in the royal

Making the most of our annual pass it was decided that we should go for a we walk in the royal a few weeks back. With Bill, Allan and Adelle along it was a pretty good turnout. We went from the forest path car park at one end of Lady Carrington drive up the couranga track to where it meets the uloola track near waterfall and then followed that down to Audley for a few Ice blocks to stave off the hot conditions before wandering back up Lady Carrington drive to the car. The wildlife was quite sparse but otherwise it was not a bad walk.
