Lovely
sleep in as it is overcast and the clouds are hanging low on the mountains. It
had rained again during the night. We were going hiking to the falls but will
wait till later to see if it clears.
Sat
around in our pjs doing my blog and Steve watching “Sunrise” then anything else
that came on!! 10.30 heard an engine and a man was driving up on a ride on
mower. Told Steve to get dressed so he could see what it was about. The man was
the National Parks Ranger but they only gave him a little mower to do his
areas. He also looks after Devils Gullet and areas around here like Alum
Cliffs. Steve offered to move the van but he was ok but Steve shifted the car
anycase. They are just starting to get this area ready to National Parks level
but he didn’t say anything about us staying which was good. Just told Steve
about the sights to see around the area. Might try and get to Alum Cliffs this
afternoon as he said the cloud won’t worry it.
A
group of guys walked up so Steve “The Tour Guide” told them all about the
caves. The Ranger said there are more up the hill but you need to be any
experienced caver to tackle those. There is a lady in Mole Creek that takes
tours.
Steve
got out his other metal detector to see what was around. Found $2 and 1 cent
coins and some melted aluminium. At least it was money!!
I
put my 3 ingredient fruit cake in the oven and prepared Ecopot lamb chops for
dinner. Made an early cuppa with fruit cake – yum then we were going for a
drive. A white Nissan drove in with Qld plates so we waved and they stopped.
Penny & Peter are from Maryborough and arrived on the rough trip across
Monday morning. We exchanged places to see etc as she had wickycamps so we
checked out a few spots I had been told about.
They
went to Cradle Mountain yesterday and had clear sky and got burnt. She had
lovely photos but I am happy with mine so don’t think I will drag Steve back
there!! They like gold detecting too so we had lots to chat about.
Too
late now to sightsee so went for a walk down the road to Caveside (5km return).
It are a few houses along the road with dairy cows and sheep and at the sign of
Caveside was a church and that was about it. We passed a road “Pool Road” so
will check if it leads to a pool as Wet Cave Road leads to the caves and
Westmorland Falls Road goes to the falls!! Lots of bunnies in one field who
scurried into the blackberry bushes along the fence line when they heard us.
Back
to the van for a nice drink and nibbles (just a little bit) overlooking our
nice setting.
No
fire tonight as the mist is settling in for another drizzly night. Glad we have
the generator.
