It's official. It is raining. Has been on and off for the last two days. Not cold at all so that's a bonus. Amused ourselves at one stage by driving up to Murwillumbah and through the mountain roads to Mt Warning, a huge volcano remnant. It's up in the most beautiful rainforest all ferns and strangler figs reaching for the distant canopy of the giant eucalypt trees. The one car wide road winds its way up the mountain side, criss-crossing the tributaries of the Tweed River. We were surprised at the car park to find it chock-a-block. Seems its the #1 walking track with the 9km, 5 hour trek to the top being the attraction. We thought we'd save it for another day.
On the way back down we stopped and took a few snaps and were just crossing the Tweed proper when Judy spotted a platypus right near the low level bridge. We went back and forth but apart from my one blurred image, it proved to be elusive.
Went out for dinner and a show last night at the Australian Outback Adventure, which was a different show to the one we saw last year but every bit as entertaining and informative. Dinner was a Frittata followed by the main of beef and veg and all topped of with an individual Pavlova. Yum-oh.
Woke up to more rain so went back to sleep!
