Catching up

We're on top of marking again, so it's time to catch up on the few photos we have taken in the last few weeks. Here are a few more from the forest in Nundle.

More forest photos

While one of us has been hard at work the other has been out exploring with his camera. My brain is dead from marking, so it's time for me to put a few more of his best ones here for your viewing pleasure.

Nundle State Forest

Our first choice of camping spot for the week was Sheba Dams, up the hill from Nundle (south east of Tamworth). It was a lovely spot, but a bit too shaded for the solar panels, and just out of internet range. We went for a drive around the area the following afternoon, looking for a more suitable spot and found a seldom used side track off a forestry road with great views out to the north west and stand of eucalypt to the east. We moved up here the next morning and have been rewarded with two lovely sunsets the past two evenings. With plenty of photographic opportunities literally outside our door, this is prooving to be an ideal camp spot.

Tamworth

The results of a leisurely stroll in the park while our car was serviced, then a walk in a different park later in the afternoon.

Glenriddle Reserve

A quiet camp on the little river running into Split Rock Dam, north of Tamworth. Dazz worked hard marking for a few days and I caught up on washing, cleaning and cooking... of course there was time for a few photos too. A black shouldered kite and plum headed finches.

The fun of the fair at Moree

Our visit to friends in Moree coincided with the Moree Show & Rodeo, and since it was THE event in town we went along with our friends… both Friday and Saturday nights!

Between the two nights at the show we squeezed in a picnic at Cranky Rock.

The Severn River - just outside Ashford

The neighbours came knocking on the side of our van last night to see if we wanted a picture of this baby possum. He'd been wandering around their camp so they gave him some apple and then put him back in a nearby tree.

A perfect sunrise with mist on the river.
