Day 55 - Warwick Up early again today with the sweet sounds of the Magpies! They actually got a really pretty song, I've never noticed it in the UK so don't know if it's the same!! The weather forecast wasn't great today but we'd decided to go up to the Main Range and do one of the walks. When we jumped in the car the sky didn't look too bad so we were quite hopeful! We were intending to do the 10.2km return Mount Mitchell track but when we got to the Cunninghams Gap car park the entrance was the otherside of the highway and it was busy with huge B-Double wagons! Instead we settled on the Bare Rock track which was 12.4 km return and described as a detour west of the peak of Mount ... read more

Day 54 - Warwick For reasons unknown neither of us slept very well last night. Maybe it’s because we’re in a proper campsite with power and it’s too unsettling for us! Who knows!

We followed the Falls Drive for a while and checked out Daggs Falls and then the waterfall piece de resistance for this area, the Queen Mary Falls. Both were in great flow and completely free of humans when we ... read more

Day 53 Leslie Dam to Warwick (just around the corner!) What a great night we had at Leslie Dam, looking up at the stars and laughing because we couldn’t see our hands in front of our faces! It’s pretty spooky too! What a couple of scardie cats! The sunrise was probably great this morning, we didn’t get up early enough to see it of course but we will make the effort to do that at some point! No alarm call either but our body clocks have settled into a natural wake up of 7am or thereabouts. It was a bright morning with a bit more wind than yesterday and a few less kangaroos! We wandered down to the shore line of Lake Leslie and already a couple of people had gone off in tinnies (boats) to ... read more
