Wentworth falls - National Pass

A few weeks back my parents visited so I decided to do a walk which Allan had be talking about for a while. The weather had been rather wet for the preceding week or so which meant for the first time since I arrived in Australia that when I went to see a waterfall there was actually water falling rather just a couple of stagnant pools. Just to prove the point for the doubtful septics here is some photographic evidence.

There were also some nice steps for the punters to enjoy.

A few birds were seen along the way as well including this extremely friendly rockwarbler, which despite it practically landing on my foot I still struggled to get a photo of.

Enjoying the weather in the yengo

After considerable effort I managed to convince Allan, Gemma, Iain, Emily and Adelle that a weekend in the Yengo NP would be worth the trip out there. People in Australia don't seem to like going out in the rain for some reason. Turned out to be pretty reasonable weather in the end and a few nice birds were about but the only nocturnal wildlife consisted of one frog.

Olympic park again

A quick wander around Olympic park a month ago produced spectacularly little.

Eel
This eel was rather friendly though.
