A very "bloggy" post on our tiring bushwalk which people probably won't read... (You're Forgiven!)

Okay, today's been pretty tiring...

We decided to go on a family outing for the morning to a tourist resort in the bush which has cool bushwalks with great scenery and swimming holes. It was about a 1 hr drive there, some of it on a dirt road where we... burst a tire! Of course! As we rush to get to the resort in time for breakfast, we burst a tire! Bound to happen! Once we got there (yet, we were in time for breakfast) we had breakfast and then went on the walk.

A lot of the terrain was small or normal sized boulders which meant we had to climb over them, very tiring. We were walking to a 65 meter (around 200 ft) waterfall about 1.6 km off (it felt longer than that!). It was quite a sight! In some places there was a fall of water drops, instead of a single sheet, but there was that too. It was at the end of a gorge, and very echo-y. The water was FREEZING! Well, for us anyway. We live where if it fails to reach 35 degrees celsius it's not a hot day, so when it's cold, we feel it! We tried to go for a swim, got most of ourselves wet and then gave up. Then we walked back to the car, another 1.6 rocky km away. Very enjoyable, but rather tiring. We were really tired when we got home!

Above is a story I'm thinking of calling "Dragon's blood" Or "Dragon's Flame". For now it's "Dragon's Flame". It's a fantasy story I'm starting, and I'll keep you posted on it (at least once a week).

Post A Comment!
