Moreton National Park 9 - 13th November

Lookout at Beauchamps Cliffs

Left Sydney with no real direction, ended up at Morton NP via Bundanoon - a very "civilised" campground with hot showers, camp kitchen, close to the very cute rustic town of Bundanoon.  Despite this, very few campers until Saturday, when place is booked out for a mountain-bike "Dash" through some of the trails here.  Tested out the solar panel - it works fine!

Erith Coal Mine

The spectacular landscape is impressive, the density and variety of the bushland, and the unexpected vistas as you reach the edge of the plateau and peer down into the valleys and along the escarpments.  You can see from the inner edges of the Great Dividing Range, the river valleys which can be seen to make their way down towards the sea. We did many hours of bushwalking to an old coal mine, 'Fairy Bower', 'Glow Worm Glen', and deep into the cannoned valley.

The flora is outstanding from native shrub and scrubland, to dense eucalyptus forest, and contrasting pockets of lush fern and vegetation. The area abounds with native flowers.  

Rob got some writing in and we managed also to catch up with some friends who live in the area. Great to see you Anne & Susan thanks for the coffee - see you in Tassie...

The Pics below are some of my favourite shots from the park - how beautiful is this country!!
