Hello all. Today was quite laid back. We sadly left our beautiful campsite by the beach and drove to the Goblin Forest Walk, a 400m walk through a forest and old mining area. The walk was pretty, but some of the photographs on the signs were a touch inaccurate (I severely doubt a miner from the 1900’s would wear a plastic hard hat). On the drive to a cheese place, disaster struck! Okay, slight exaggeration. Some fallen branches had blocked the road we had to drive along, so with Dad’s hack saw and us holding back the branches we managed to get through. Next was yummy cheese tasting Pyengana, I have decided I very much like cheddar and cows (smiley face). We saw many, many cows over the next hour. I love the tan-fawn colours of some best. Following our cow-watching was a short walk down to the Saint Columba Falls, a 90m high cascade of water. Maddy was feeling ill so she stayed in the bus, but she’s feeling better now. The walk was steep on the way back but through a lovely forest with small creeks running. After a quick lunch we drove to Legerwood to view some clever wood sculptures. The original trees had been planted in memory of soldiers in World War 1 but they were deemed dangerous and destined to be cut down. An artist instead, with a chainsaw of all items, carved beautiful sculptures of the men and their hobbies, family or the like. Finally, we went to a bakery for afternoon tea and drove here, a rest stop in Scottsdale. Hope everyone is well.
Maddy’s footnote: I beat Gabby in Hand and Foot this afternoon!!
Fauna: Albatrosses, cows, seagulls, parrots, dogs, cows, echidnas on the side of the road (spotted while driving along, a lot of fun), cows, small fish and a pademelon.
