Come Hiking With Us
Today we tagged along with a mate who took us on a 10 km hike into the heart of the Australian bush.
The photos are only from my Point and Shoot as we had actually swim across about 6 or 8 rock pools and slide on our bums down steep gradients. Everything had to be able to take water or be waterproofed. Lots of snap lock bags came along for the walk.
I took quite a few shots so I won't put them all here but here's a selection in the next few posts below ...
A recent burnoff has left burnt rock and trees

Looking through a burnt stump at LeAngel sliding on her butt. Metres later she tore open her pants on a rock. From then on, our guide (Eric) stayed in front and LeAngel kept her butt pointed in my direction :rolleyes:

It was Raiven ... and only 30 kms from the city.
We didn't even see a single snake outt here yet a week ago Eric and some others saw 6 when he was there.
We saw a large underwater spider though ... that was cool.

Underwater spiders? I never knew they were underwater. I am not particularily afraid of spiders. A friend had a pet tarantula. It was cool. But snakes. No. Especially if they are in the water. But it is a beautiful area!

Only saw one underwater spider ... about the size of a 5 yr old child's hand I guess ... spindly looking. Basically they have tiny hairs on the body and legs that catch air so when they run out of their supply they can get more off the legs. They actually catch small fish I believe but mostly little water insects.
