Leaving Oz

We went up into the hills to walk 20km through the rainforest at Eungella national park about 2 hours away. Quite hot but mostly under trees.  Lovely forest marred by huge fires last year.  Just starting to regrow, will take years.  The lunchtime snack at Eungella Chalet was huge, even by Aussie standards!

Then over 60mm of rain in a day kept us inside, apart from a break for emergency downpipe repairs. That night we'd been given tickets to the annual Eisteddfod song and dance show - local groups doing various takeoffs of Queen, Cher, Austin Powers, etc. We laughed for two hours.  Thankfully we didn't see recorder recital for under 6!

We've been kayaking on the creek, eaten out lots, covered a lot of dark green paint with bright blue and met lots of nice/strange people. Off to South Korea tomorrow - a cooler northern hemisphere and complete change of culture?!
