The Blue Mountains

25 November 2010

We left Wangi Wangi Caravann Park (the prettiest caravan park in Lake Macquarie) and travelled to the Blue Mountains staying at Blackheath Caravan Park (a beautiful setting) arriving late in the afternoon.

26 November
Walked to Govetts Leap on a bush track  classed medium but we thought it should be medium to hard.  The track was rough because of the rain that had fallen in the area, there was a lot of water on the track which made it difficult.  The track was up hill and down dale with steep steps.  There was a small cascade and pool which look inviting and Waratahs were in bloom. We came out at a lookout looking toward Pulpit Rock and finally reach Govetts Leap two and a half hours after setting out.  Barry was exhausted and found the first seat available which had his name on it.  While I was taking photos of the view and Blidal Veil Fallstwo people asked him if he was ok and offerred to drive him back to the caravan park.  We accepted this lift and they took us back via Evans Lookout
