Pete and I have a pretty good routine in the morning...Pete makes us a cup of tea which we drink in bed... then we pull the bed apart and put in the table. I have first shower and Pete fills our water bottles for our walks and the electric kettle. Pete has his shower and I drag all our essentials for breakfast out of the cupboards. We then enjoy breakfast together and decide what we will do that day.
Parked opposite the local IGA...
Quorn has many beautiful old buildings but this one caught my eye...once a bank and now someone has lovingly restored it.
Not far from Quorn is the Dutchman's Stern Conservation Park. Pete and I decided to climb the Dutchman's Stern...pictured above. It is a 10.6 km circuit walk and the summit is at 820m. The Park gets its name from the bluff's similarity to Dutch sailing ships of the eighteenth century. The rocky outcrops and slopes appear to resemble the reverse stern of these ships.. The bluff was named by Captain Flinders in 1802.
Stunning views on the way to the top...
View from the top....
On the edge...
Loved the trees...
A great walk, especially on such a bright and sunny day.
On the road again....to Rawnsley Park station ...green everywhere.
The view from the caravan park is breath taking. These mountains in one direction....
And Rawnsley Bluff in the other.... we hope to climb this one.
