Tues, 17th Mar, 2015 Northeast Park, Scottsdale to Lilydale Falls (Falls walk)

Overcast and 17 degrees. Packed up. Fed the ducks one last time. Headed off to Lilydale Falls. Overnight camp here. Nice park area.

It is just starting to spit rain so we went for the 10 minute walk along the creek up to the falls.

There are two – not the most exciting but nice enough walk.

Little pools between with a couple of trout in them.

This is the top falls.

Lots of birds and a few pademelons in the bush. As the raindrops got more frequent the frogs started croaking happily.

Back to the van for lunch and to put the silverside on in the Ecopot. Lots of people come, do the walk and go again.

Rang Malcolm at Westbury and arranged to go to his place on Thursday so we can join them for the Longford Revival Festival that he is racing in. I put a date slice in the oven and prepared some pikelets.

A van and truck pull in with Qld plates so I said hello. They were from Cairns, Mt Sheridan actually and Steve installed their stove. I put the kettle on and cooked the pikelets so we had a great afternoon chatting with Noel & Anita.

Drizzly rain all afternoon. Steve got onto the Cairns chap about the radiator. We have to go back to the chap in Launceston and get him to take it out and inspect it more so will go back to Mac’s Farm tomorrow.

Baked some more cookies. Plugged into the power point outside the shower room (which is closed now due to vandalism).

Lots of backpackers have arrived – poor things setting up the tents in the drizzly rain.
