A gloomy day but still warm.  In fact a bit chilly for us at 23C.  We did the Cardwell Forest Drive, all off road so Paul in his element and me doing a lot of yelling.  Because of the gloom we didn’t get a view at the lookout but did walk through the woodlands to waterfalls.  It’s back to grass trees, not seen them in a while, here’s one in flower

This is Attie Creek.  The water drops 25m into a deep swimming pool.

Lizard taking absorbing the heat radiating from the wood..

This is Dead Horse Creek

Paul looking for the horse

Me ignoring the horse

Some of the trees are in flower – this is a bottle brush but who knows which one.

A bit of water further downstream.

Upstream a ways.

Back into the car and across a dry stony creek – makes a change from sand.

The Spa Pool, supposedly the last picnic spot on the drive.  Someone obviously took a liking to the picnic tables and BBQs, or maybe they got washed away.  The view upstream

A natural depression in the creek bed.  Very milky water.  Beautiful paper bark tree at the edge of the creek.

Paul before he decided to feed the fishes.

And me
