Blue Mountains 3

Freezing at night, warm in our van with the heater churning around. Headed into the Southern Tableland, sheep ranches, virtually no people and beautiful land. We had a great walk in the forest, more shy wallabies and some frankly scary massive parrots. We dropped down and down from the plateau to the Abercrombie River, crossing on a rickety wooden bridge, then climbing up again to finally arrive at Goulburn which has all the flavour of a mid-western town, one long main street, the vibe of an agricultural working town. Good campsite again, and a great Indian takeaway to boot.

Walking in forest, occasionally the light will shine through dense plantations and somehow bring that forbidding darkness to life.
