Mountain biking in the Washpool NP

We escaped from the heat and headed to the Washpool NP in the  Gibraltar ranges

 

Lots of leeches as well as a few stacks led to some loss of blood. But the scenery made up for the hardship that some experienced.

Wollemi / Colo River on New Years Day

 

On new years day Dave, Will ,Gab and I did the Wollemi to Colo river walk. With all the rain in the past weeks the river levels were up. So we spent more time swimming than walking.

 

Compared to most canyons in the Blue Mountains region, the water temperature was a very pleasant so it was easier to swim down the river instead of bush bashing along the banks.

After nine months on the boat we really felt our legs turning to rubber on the walk out of the Colo gorge.
