The Southern Excursion................

Having rested up at Paul's and Sharon's for a while, weighed up the Northern tour we decide to hit the South, not too far down. So we set off for Kangaroo Valley, at least there will be loads of wild life.

On the way we stopped at Fitzroy Falls, this photo shows the little old granny, hat on head, glasses to keep out the midday sun and her bottle????

A little of the vista (a posh word for a would be Aussie):

I bet you thought you wouldn't get to see the Falls , but here it is:

Some of that wild life we promised...an ant hill, exciting hey? How many can you spot? Answers on a post card together with the entrance fee.

And so off to the valley, and a famous landmark, the Hampden bridge, with genuine wooden flooring, a part of Australia's living history.

This next photo includes our camp site right next to the bridge. A nice place run by a lovely couple, as long as you don't mention cigarettes.

Above the valley was an area called the Southern Highlands (the picture proves it), it had some nice places Bowral, Bundanoon etc, where they had their highland games - for the Jocks in exile, and they had the weather for it. While we were there the mist came down and formed a blanket around the top of the valley.

At last a Kangaroo on the run, shame it wasn't in the Valley, in fact the only wild life we saw down there were horses and they weren't wild.

After a week in the valley we moved on to Ulludulla, and there, there was some wild life...well parrots and Lin could hand feed them. Mind you if you sat out and you were in their flight path you had better duck.

Some more of the regulars:

Having looked around these two areas, neither met our hopes so we moved on to Kiama in our hunt for a home.
