Blue Mountains 2

A beautiful morning with clear cool mountain air and lovely blue skies. We got provisions in Blackheath then drove across the plateau to the Great Dividing Range where we had a couple of nice walks in the high forest. In one, all alone and away from everyone, we came face to face with our first marsupials. Having spoken to people we think they were Wallabies rather than Kangaroos, either way we were a little unsure how to react. I wouldn't say scared, but quite pleased when they chose to hop off into the woods. A pretty amazing sight. We drove past the Jerolan caves deep in the forest then climbed to Oberon, the highest township in the Blue Mountains. A real mountain town that seemed very American in atmosphere.
