Blue Mountains Journal

We end the walk with a view of the creek downstream from the waterfall.  Just a short walk up to the top and back to the kiosk. I am going to take a short break until sometime in the New Year.  I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  Thank you all for your interest and comments throughout the year, they have all been greatly appreciated.

Joo said yesterday that this was a romantic place and I agree, there is something eternally romantic about waterfalls.

Like most rainforest walks it doesn't take long to find a creek and ferny spot to rest.

Here's the cable car.

At the next lookout I found bees feasting on the tall flower spike of a grass tree.  The wires you can see in the background are for the cable car.

As I walk along I notice this daisy like flower and wonder if it is native or an intruder.

My heart frolicked with the butterflies in the sunlight.

Not far down the path I am lured down a sidetrack knowing it would deliver on the promise of a blue view.  I never tire of views like this.

I'm captivated by the texture of the bark.

I enter below the canopy of the trees and feel myself relax and breathe.  I love the earthy decay of the forest floor.
