Liffey Falls 30th - 31st January

Arrived at beautiful Liffey Falls and walked the track to the lower falls - the water is crystal clear and the sandstone bottom provides fantastic mirror images and views of the life below.  The Liffey River rises on the northern edge of the Great Western Tiers, flowing through dense cool-temperate rainforest of myrtle, sassafras and leatherwood before plunging over these spectacular waterfalls.  We found a beautiful spot at the campground on the banks of the river and were welcomed by fellow campers on our arrival.

Rob & Strattie weaving

What a special feeling it is when you walk into a place & immediately feel like you're with old friends!  Lyndon, Pete, Rob and Strattie certainly made us feel like that and we enjoyed the short time we had with you all.  The patient Rob gave out spinning lessons to Lyndon and Pete while Strattie weaved her magic beside the crystal clear waters.  There were some tales told well into the night from stories of travel to romantic love stories and activism. A great night  - thanks for sharing with us!

I loved this place and it seemed even better to explore the area in the rain the next day.  Recent flooding had caused some damage to the paths - the height of which was quite astounding.  Below are some of my favourite pics taken here, just click on them to enlarge.
