Made it to the top of Mt Jagungal on snow - yay. 4 days return from Munyang power station. A whiteout on top, we weren't hanging around. Awesome trip. Had a big day today back to the car to avoid some crappy weather incoming.

Walked the red track through bungonia gorge. Creek was still pumping from the recent rain. Only a few spots where we got our legs wet.
Just an awesome walk

Providence petrels are the most amazing or possibly silliest birds. Make lots of noise and they jump down the trees to investigate.

Random photo drop. This was the first flower on our Gymea Lilly 10 years ago. Several years later it puts out multiple flower spikes every year.

Pic is from a kayak trip to South West Tassie last month. Awesome trip.
Lotsa highlights.
Seeing range bellied parrots at Malaleuca may have been the most exciting moment.

After the last few days, hard to believe this is Broken Bay North of Sydney. Had a great paddle from Brooklyn to West Head. Swim at hungry beach - pictured. Was really quiet on the hawkesbury - yay. Wind was quite challenging at times.

Campsite by the Tumut River.
We watched a wild dog/ dingo(??) trying to take down a Wallaby, like something out of a wildlife documentary. The dog seemed to have won three times. the Wallaby ended up hopping off.
