Funny how things keep surfacing in one’s brain. Won’t let go, refuse to be ignored. So it was with “The Canyon”, so listed but often called the grotto by locals. When I was there with Mr. C we hadn’t pushed right in; Mr. C had never gone past a certain point and, frankly, I couldn’tContinue reading ” BACK INTO THE BREECH”

THE HOMAGE
DOWN IN THE BLUEGUM FOREST Walk in the Blue Mountains often enough and there’s a name that will crop up. Blue Gum Forest. No serious walker can avoid it, so the fact that I’d managed to not go there for 76 years indicates how serious I’d been. For the seasoned hiker it’s usually part ofContinue reading ” THE HOMAGE”
THE OTHER WORLD
The whole day had been spent in the motorhome, literally. With stories and photos to catch up on there was days of work to do. That, and the fact my body was sending me messages – “No more stairs today please” being the foremost. That all went well until the sun dipped low in theContinue reading “THE OTHER WORLD”
TO BURGESS AND BACK
It hurt, I couldn’t deny that. It also caused a significant portion of my clothing and self to get wet….and a bit dirty.

SOME DAYS ARE DIAMOND’S
Beyond apprehensiveness, where I was going was scary. Well, the place where I wanted to photograph from was, so, when I drove past 9, count them n-i-n-e, police and rescue vehicles with flashing lights I could be excused for taking it as an omen. Still, it was a few kilometres from where I was aimingContinue reading “SOME DAYS ARE DIAMOND’S”
A LEAP OF FAITH
It’s so refreshing for the mind though, having to find ways where there are none, noting every footfall, testing each fallen branch because some are wont to crumble and feeling the natural softness of a bed of fallen leaves.
MINNEHAHA, A GEM IN THE CANYON
It was raining, only raining seems an overstatement. The Blue Mountains were in a cloud, literally. It was a precursor to what was to come, according to the weather bureau. I’d considered doing something in the morning, casing Leura and trying to find out when Leura Cascades would be re-opening, but to no avail. SoContinue reading “MINNEHAHA, A GEM IN THE CANYON”
