What risk?? Tree climbing... nah

 
So after we saw that, we decided to climb the unattended tree


Notice me maintain 4 points of contact .....

 
 at all times......


This is what nick saw..... "easy bit"
 
This was us waiting at the bottom, from the half way mark ,just before Nick assaulted the final ascent
 

Did I mention that he zoomed in on that shot

The view from the top was stunning ..... I've been told


 
and well worth the climb, but I am proud that I got as far as I did, obviously not as courageous as I was 20 years ago.
 
We stopped at a little road side stall and grabbed some supplies
 
 we both wondered what category this came under.......

With some Google magic we found out its called a Buddha's hand, its a type of citrus, and smells amazing, not really edible though.
 
We drove through some stunning national park, full of changing landscapes, and it followed this river, that was full of marron (or so the signs said) looking for a place to spend the night, and had to cross the river...
 

 
We also came across a few wet patches on the road

 
We couldn't find a decent spot, that wasn't in a campground full of people running generators, so we backed onto the highway and took a off road that took us down near the river that was winding its way through the country that we had just driven through, and pulled up just in time to watch the end of the sunset over the river. It was a cold night again, and we woke to a stunning mist display over the river, but it was so cold I wasn't going to hang around outside and take any pictures.
