Hi Friends and Rellies following our blog, Hubbies turn to blog tonight. Busy day today, been up the bush, walking wetlands, fishing, and swimming. Read to find out what we got up to.
First we headed off to Middle Brother National Park. This is one of three mountains that came into being during the Dreamtime, with the legend of 3 brothers who died and left behind 3 mountains.
We ventured up there to see the Bird Tree, the biggest tree in NSW apparently. Yes, more dirt roads and rocky stuff up via a logging track. Lots of trees were interesting to see. It seems the Grey Gums shed there bark leaving a reddy tinge till they turn white after sometime.
This is the Bird Tree base and looking skyward.
This is a similar tree and they seem to have "legs" which hold the weight of the tree. This one has a huge gap in the middle. It is massive as well.
After this sightseeing we ventured off to see the Wetlands at Cattai. A vegetated area brought back from farm land to restore the natural balance of this section of wetlands. It is used by schools to teach about wetlands with lots of information on birds and trees around the area on the walking track.
Off home for lunch, then ventured fishing at the rock wall. Lots of bites only a few small fish that had to go back.
Home we went with no fish :( We decided to go up and try out the Caravan park pool. It was quite nice but a bit cool here at 6.30pm even if it is daylight savings.
Well after that full day we need a break so taking it easy tomorrow.
Hope you are enjoying following our adventures.
We are having a great time exploring what is around us.

We wandered around the wetlands checking out the various trees and wildlife. We ventured up to the lookout and down to the old wharf , though nothing of that left.
