In an effort to bring a bit more consistency to our little blog, I’m introducing the ‘Sunday Snapshot’. This will just be one photo, or a couple, taken on Sundays to share something about what we have done, where we have been, who we’ve seen, maybe what we’ve eaten, or if we’ve really gone crazy, maybe even something we have created! I’m hoping the Sunday Snapshot will also remind us to take a bit of time out from ‘farm life’ every now and then and perhaps even get to share with you some of the beautiful places that we love to visit here on the Atherton Tablelands!
Today’s Sunday Snapshot was taken at Mount Hypipamee National Park. We were heading to Ravenshoe to have home-made pizza’s for lunch with my Dad (who’s currently ‘baching’ it while Mum helps my sister get settled in Perth) and decided to check out the Crater and Dinner Falls as we went past. Matt and I had visited the area as kids but had never taken our ratbags. This is what we saw …………………………………
A little adventure – it’s been a while!
Dinner Falls – we’ve had lots of rain recently so they are really flowing!
The Crater
80metres up!
Some background information if you’re interested!
The girl loves lizards!
And that was it. A thirty minute stop, a pretty easy 1.5km return walk, some nice scenery, only one leech, we were treated to the kindness of a stranger who gave us a whole bag of Longans (similar to Lychees) in the carpark, and we felt like we had an adventure! Bought back lovely memories of our trip for us all! So, that was a bit of our Sunday, what did you get up to?
Oh, and Mum, this photo is for you. Dad has worked out how to use the washing machine but it seems he may need a few pointers about the fact that hanging washing out to dry in the rain may not work so well, but hey, baby steps! 🙂 🙂
Wow, Dinner Falls is gorgeous. 🙂
What a spectacular spot! I’ll have to note it down for when we *eventually* get back to Qld… 🙂
Definitely come up this way on your travels Heike! Plenty of room for the caravan at Blue Sky!
That is great. We loved it, I even let the boys swim at Dinner falls wasn’t flowing as fast as it was at the moment! Loved the shot of the belly in the background and I will make sure Mum sees the photo…Good on ya Dad!! lol
680mls of rain (roughly 27″ in old speak) in the last 10 days or so bit hard not to hang washing in the rain oh well tis the wet season tis the Far North
