The sound of the waterfall and cool mountain air greeted us as we left our vehicle. A short walk of many stairs brought us to the base of the falls.
The cool, damp gully is the perfect place for several varieties of tiny fungi, nestled amongst the mosses.
The water slowly moves away as the creek winds enticingly out of sight.
With shutter speed set to half a second, I catch the top of the falls, and consider again buying a tripod.....
Barbecued sausages followed by toasted marshmallows, a treat for the children, helps warm us this winter's day.

On returning from our walk we discover a Red-Necked Wallaby gently grazing near the picnic area.
The best Sunday we've had for a long time - a family day bringing new sights, fresh air, lots of fun and laughter and great memories.

Wspaniała rodzinna wycieczka i takie cudowne widoki. Tam z pewnością w pełni Waszego lata panuje chłód. Zdjęcia grzybków są urocze. Kangura bym uściskała, jak by się dał. Pozdrawiam.
A great family outing, and such wonderful views. There is certainly full of your years there is a chill. Mushrooms pictures are charming. Kangaroo hugged me as he would. Yours.
