Panorama

Tim took this fantastic panorama from one of his walks this weekend.

A White Christmas (Creek)

July 10 - A Cold and Gloomy Morning

Getting a Bit Brighter

The Sun is up but Jack Frost holds on - for a just a little bit longer.

 

 

This is why there are no mid year camps!

Some plants between Nell's and the gate to Lamington National Park

Nell's Daisies

It's been so long since I've posted and I have so many pictures to put up! Stupid flood got me side-tracked, didn't it? Ok back now.

More Water!

The first photo (by Heidi) was taken down the creek before the bitumen, and the last is "up the creek" showing the last crossing before the National Park (photo by Maree).

Sue and Bernie came home to this from a great week in Thailand - their thoughtful rellies had left their big ute on this side of the lowest crossing so en route home they transferred into this: there are no photos so I will try to paint a word picture - reaching the low crossing, they tied a rope onto the ute and with Maree and Rob "minding" on the other side, worked their way through the raging water.
 And "How deep was it Bernie?" "Scrotum high!" Well, Bernie is tall and the water very cold so you get the message I guess. I didn't ask Sue!!!!

The creek is still raging but most people are now more or less "free".

Not Autumn Leaves -but Silky Oaks in Spring!

 With the trough about to intensify above us, thought it might be a bit wet and wild to take me and my camera outside to catch the silky oaks at their height, so found a couple of "golden oldies" from a few years ago; all is the same - except haven't seen a patch of blue for weeks.

Exploring Their Rainforest

Through the tree hole with eyes lifted high, Heidi or Steve search for the sky!

A Nice Spot For A Think

This was when we were only 2 minutes from the top. Vinnie stopped for a bit of a think on a precarious looking rock with nothing under it.... except for this:

Click on the photos for a closer view. On the bottom one, if you look really carefully you can just about make Graham connecting another keg and Leila burning her hot cross bun on the barbeque...
