Taking You For A Walk

We spent most of the day in the shed putting aside items and pricing them for hopefully an upcoming garage sale.
Not very thrilling in the blogging arena, so thought I would take you on a quick trip around Speelers Track at Cradle Mt.

So pull on your virtual hiking boots (raincoat advisable)

Almost immediately we came across a hiking warning sign – something about steep sections and undefined tracks, don’t go unless you are experienced…

That’s the undefined track above!!

It was a pretty walk – lots of green mossy trees

Some impressive boles

 

Every now and again we would come out into a more cleared space before going back into the dim forest

I love the tangled mossy trees
You can just see the old wooden bridge under our feet and the new bridge

From here the track got really soggy. I don’t know if you can see clearly above but the track was also doubling as a small waterfall. And where there were no rocks – there was mud

Like this deceptively deep mud puddle – that I skillfully located.

Threatening skies

Stop and rest for a moment – its a nice view back towards Cradle…

Quietly look over to your left… someone is watching us!

Crazy big old trees

The red fungi really stood out in that sea of green

Even though there were tracks… I was getting dubious about if we were on the right path

Puddle jumping time
Water disappearing

The sun came out to light up the trees which was rather lovely against the grey skies in the background!

And lucky us – a rainbow!

I think we were following game paths
See that furry backside?? This wombat wasn’t sticking about to say hello! They move surprisingly fast for a fat barrelled animal!

We did actually lose the path at the end – a bit of cross country brought us back to a main track.

This fellow very used to humans was intent on his dinner and didn’t care how close we were.

Anyway, that’s our little walk done – time to go and put your feet up!

Cheers
