A day well spent

I finished my reports this morning and we packed a bag with a picnic lunch and set off on our bushwalk. We drove up the hill to Wentworth Falls and set off to do the Charles Darwin Walk.

Alas,but this did not deter us three brave adventurers. We took the fact that this sign was trampled to the ground to mean that it must be ok, and we set out with the agreement that if it was dangerous we would turn back.

The track was ok, despite the signs and it looked like some repair work had been undertaken. There was only one part where there was a little difficulty in crossing the creek, but a path had been worn down around it so we followed that.

It was a beautiful day and it was wonderful to be walking in the bush with my daughters. The track is apparently 3.1 kilometers one way, but it did seem a little longer than that. You come out at the end to a beautiful lookout and then we went up some stairs to Wentworth Falls picnic area for our lunch.

We had our sandwiches and somne fruit, and then walked a little further for an ice-cream. After a little rest we headed back up the road to the highway and the park where we started our journey. This was the hardest bit of the journey as it was uphill and the grils were already tired. Alex was quite whingy and it was pat one stage we even had to stop so her little legs could have a rest.

Alex found her groove again when we finally got back to the park.

All in all, a day well spent!
