Local Area Drive

Hello!
I put down the soap making stuff for a day and Jeff and I went out for a drive to find a potential new panning spot and also see a new waterfall.

A nice little area – far away from people although I saw a few hoof marks from riders.

I wonder how old this log bridge is? Was still sturdy in the middle.

Jeff found a couple of specks of gold, but we were being eaten alive by mozzies! Next time we will bring gumboots and insect repellent.

There was a bit of fungi about but nothing too exciting

We failed to find the waterfall – we were in the right spot but there was no track to be seen!! Again, upon return we’ll get some GPS co-ordinates, wear gaiters and bring a machete!

We were passing near by Sharons- so we dropped in!
Woman with a big chopping thing haha
She offered to take us to their local falls which we hadn’t had a chance to see yet!! The way in was dense blackberries (Must return with bucket)
So she hacked a path and in we went!

Jeff took Lottie over the worst of it!

Sharon giving those blackberries what-for!!

Amazing to drive through the logged areas and their unkempt weedy blackberries – down to such a natural and beautiful spot!

And there it is… a short walk along the rivers edge to a beautiful clearing and waterfall!

And yes… I did get my feet wet to get better angles for my photos! 🙂

Great spot for a kid to run wild in!

And a photo for you, Judy, of your handsome lad!

Well – thats us. Out and about in our beautiful area!
Hope your week is going well!
Cheers!
