Dam the weekends are short

Finally got all the technology aligned again to continue blogging...

Took a trip to Corin Dam, part of the Namadji National Park, and checked out Gibraltar Falls too. It's beautiful countryside. On the way back we spotted 8 emus grazing in a paddock with a few cows.

There's snow on them there hills

Look and don't leap

On the last day of our Sydney trip we took a ferry ride out to Watson's Bay. From the top of the cliffs there are excellent views, both out to sea and back towards Sydney. The path along the cliff tops has numerous Lifeline and Beyond Blue ads because this is The Gap - infamous as a suicide spot. While we were there everyone we saw around looked happy enough, which was good.

Walking at Orroral tracking station

Had an outing to Namadji National Park to check out the Granite Tor walk at the old Orroral tracking station. About 50 minute drive from Canberra - lovely scenery and a moderately challenging walk. The track was steep in parts - a bit slippery on the gravel when coming down the hill. Excellent spot to see kangaroos, lizards and we also spotted a scarlet robin.
