Day 1
Jenolan Caves Cottages - Jenolan Caves - and back again
Wow what a view through Carlotta Arch!
The whole thing!
The "Victorians" knew how to make an impression
Time for a coffee - what the!
Do not slap bird when on wire!
Hmmm..... who picked a Thursday to come here - not in school holidays!
ah well - we will have a coffee and an ice block instead!
How on earth did they get those huge tourist coaches through that gap?
Looks wider from the other side don't you think!!
while waiting I found a few interesting things
this was the way out - wonder where the wheelchairs have access?
Looks cool and refreshing!
There must be water here somewhere it says River Walk!
No wonder its called Blue Lake!
The alternative route along the regular road for the injured walker led to a view of Mount Inspiration
Back at camp - keen hangers on made the most of their contact with the gourmet walkers
Salad dressing adds a certain something to the flavour of common or garden grass don't you think?
Pete waits anxiously for dinner while the kangaroo in the background tucks into a pre dinner snack
Day 2
Jenolan Cottages - Halfway Hotel Hampton 21 klms
Lunch Break
Look at the magic toadstools!
We must have gone the wrong way!
Lucky someone left a direction sign
Oh good the end is near on the second day !
nice blue barrel!
