Today was just another day of beauty.

This morning I did another walk down to the foot of the waterfall and as the track at the end of the boardwalk was not all muddy (we did not have much rain last night) I was able to go all the way. It was really quite spectacular and of course I got some photos. Then after the usual things I headed into town to stock up on green groceries and forgot about grog again, I am down to my last drink.

From there back in the road which was very hilly climbing ever upwards with lots of quite tight bends requiring a fair bit of concentration. It was however a very pretty drive, one of the best that I have done this trip or with Elaine. There were lots of green fields spread over lots of interlocking hills, at time quite breathtaking. Just thinking about this there are the drives through the blue mountains which are also beautiful and I have now done a few of them so that I am quite spoiled by nature’s beauty. The north of Australia and inland Western Australia where we have mostly travelled up to now has spectacular scenery and it is hard to say which I enjoy most. Probably it would be fair to say that I simply find it all amazing and it excites my senses.

Just fifty or so kilometres from where I started today I stopped to look at another waterfall. This one is actually an upper and a lower falls about 700 meters apart and if I thought yesterday’s was nice this is lots better. I keep running out of superlatives but obviously I an seeing or think that I am seeing some very beautiful things touring round Australia. But to specifics, these two falls, known as Ebor Falls, are set in a huge magnificent valley and the views are to, repeat myself, breathtaking. Green timbered hills as far as one can see with two waterfalls with their accompanying stream running through the middle of them. So I did the walk to the various lookouts then came and camped here at the town’s sports oval about one kilometre from the falls.
