When you get to the top, it’s only 4K the view is spectacular a great lookout over the valley a sheer drop but I was concerned about the safety fence because it had gates that opened out on to the edge.
But after looking around we see that this is where the Cairns’s hang gliding club cast themselves out into the wild blue younder
Well back to camp, a cuppa and a paddle around to have a look at the little creek we found yesterday and move on to tomorrow.
well some days it’s all about how the day starts and with views like these it’s hard not to feel good, so after the visitors ate us out of house and home we put the kayaks in and went for a paddle down the lake, came back had a swim then breakfast, bloody hectic being retired.
This trip I managed to smuggle the golf clubs in, so while Jacky rested and settled in with her book I drove in to Atherton for a game, the course is in terrific condition many too good as I decided to walk lush thick fairways make hard going on this hilly track but a good day.
Feeling pretty hot after my little walk so straight in to the water 💦 Jacky wanted to go and have a look around the lake so off for a paddle we pushed up through a bit of shallow water and found a waterfall emptying into the lakenot far from camp will take some pics tomorrow after we come back from Cairns
Well we are supposed to be going south about now but as usual things change, so we have started out up north, this is a quiet time around here especially during the week, so the kayaks are on the bank and the fishing rods are ready, maybe a Barra for dinner tomorrow night.
we are camped at the Kauri creek camping area which is on the logging road that goes around the back of the lake, this is a great spot we have been threatening to come here for a while, there are a couple of tracks that finish near this camp one track has some incredible rock formations some as large as houses, if your game you can climb down the gully and walk under them, we have showed this place to some of our special friends it is really like going into a prehistoric time.
I think the wildlife here are used to people especially the March flies who are a bit willing in the evening although the ducks don’t mind them they just come into the camp and clean up the carcasses of the dead flies. Well the suns just going down so might try to get a couple of pics light the fire and have a wine then see what tomorrow brings
