Winifred Falls

We thought it was a good idea to start our new year resolution early.
More bush walking and boy did we know it.
We went to the Royal National Park again and walk to Winifred Falls from the Visitors Centre.
Roughly 6 Km all together.

It was a little bit harder then we expected it to be, we dealt with rough terrain with some moderate climbs and steep tracks with sliding rocks. And the temperature didn't help either it must have been in the soaring 3o's. We had just enough water to complete the hike and afterwards we immediately bought some more. The walk itself was nice though with hardly any people on the track. (probably because it was midday and we were on it during the hottest part of the day!)
On the the way to the falls we saw a Red-browed Finch and a hazy city in the distance.

But our main objective was Winifred Falls.
That little walk took us 4 hrs in the end, we were broken but we felt like we had achieved something.
That night we met up with some friends in the city and only when our bodies were re-hydrated with several drinks were we able to hold a conversation and we felt better as the night progressed and the walk had become a mere memory.
