The Deathly Hallows

HUNTER MAIN RANGE – Trip 1, Part 2 –  17 October 2020
On day two of our exploration into some of the upper reaches of Wollemi Creek, we came across the “inside out” caves (or as Lou christened them The Deathly Hallows).  Whilst I’ve seen the odd small “stal” in overhangs in sandstone cliffs, what we stumbled upon was way beyond “the odd stal”, and I suspect that we were the first people to see them.

NORTHERN NSW – 5 October 2020
After we’d finished our caving exploration, Phillip offered to take us to a sea cave later in the afternoon.  I imagined that I’d be just walking down to a beach and then along some sand, you know, like at Caves Beach.  Rookie error, should have asked more questions.  I didn’t take my walking shoes, figured Crocs would be the way to go on the beach.

And you thought I didn’t know the meaning of an easy walk!

OLNEY STATE FOREST – 17 September 2020
My motivation to get out and do a fitness walk is non-existent, so I have been putting Thursday walks on the BWOC calendar.  Means that I have to do the walk, and also means I have someone to go with.  Who would have thought my day walks would be popular, so easy and that I’d find some walks that are hidden gems.   Continue reading →
