Adventures afoot have been a little thin on the ground, yet my mind has been on another spot not far from home.I've been here a number of times yet many locals are unaware of its existence- which only makes it better! It's called the 'look-out' and is a high sandstone (can't get away from it really!)platform that overlooks local valleys and hills.
Today is a beautiful sunny day though it is winter and I'm sure it will get to about 20*c- not bad at all! As I set off I admire the bulbs in our front garden and find a little friend!
The trail to the lookout is really green with recent rain and there are lots of wallaby scats where the animals have come right up behind the houses for a good feed. There's not much in flower but that only gives me more time to admire the trees and make a promise that I will be having a photo day when all the gigantic Gymea lillies are out. They are just tall red buds right now, metres above my head.
I see an echidna in a crevice but don't get out the camera in time. Reminds me that sometimes it's better to stop fussing with pics and just enjoy having eyes!
I finally reach the lookout and have a cuppa sitting up on top of my local world, enjoying the green glow of the hills. An amazing eyrie to sit and contemplate and only moments from home. Beautiful
