Warrumbungle National Park

2/25/2007

Today was a big travel day from the Blue Mountains to Warrumbungle National Park. Australia is nice, but it's so big that it takes a lot of driving to get from one place to the next. Many people don't realize that Australia is about the size of the United States. That's part of the reason I like NZ so much. It's basically Australia compressed into the size of a state. Anyways, we eventually made it to Warrumbungle and set up our tents. There were kangaroos everywhere, which was awesome. We had enough time to do a good 2 hour hike. Basically we went uphill and then downhill as we walked around a small mountain. There were some great views.





Our path was blocked by this spider, so we had to take a detour.




And those kangaroos...


After the hike we made dinner, played cards, and went to sleep. It was really windy during the night. We probably shouldn't have put our tent in a wide open area, heh.

I am so jealous. Looks like you are having a lot of fun. I am in the middle of my finals now. Wanted to take a break and look at your blog to see what you have been up to.
Btw, I love that picture of the spider.
