Short River Walk

Hello!
A lovely day – well… it was a bit dodgy weather wise but not so bad that we were stuck inside all day!
We decided to do a bit of a walk around the river. They have finally (after two years) built a new bridge and fixed the track after it all was washed away in the floods.

Its a bit fancy – and well above where the old bridge was, so little chance of it being washed away again.

So now we can do the entire circuit again!

Some of the paddocks haven’t been refenced so it gives things a lovely open feel.

Lots of pademelons living around here! Didn’t have the zoom on to get up close to these fellows!

Plenty of birds to see on the way.

The tide was on its way out so it gets muddy looking.

Mum got a bit warm so her arctic jacket became her arctic skirt!

We got to the bridge near town and Mum and Dad opted to walk into town and meet us there rather than walk the full circuit.
I told them I was putting them in training as we plan to go to Cradle Mountain Monday to do the Dove Lake walk… hee hee

(Weird tree stump lichen/fungi growing on the splinters. It looked cooler in real life…)

The wattle trees are looking gorgeous! I was pretty amazed at the size of this one and a few others. I hadn’t really seen them grow that tall!

Anyway, it was a lovely day finishing up with my parents taking us and  other cousins out to dinner tonight, so we are all full and happy!
Cheers!
