After breakfast we went back in the direction of Armidale, but only as far as Ebor. We went for a short walk in the Cathedral Rock National Park. Even after the bone rattling drive into the park, we decided not to do the entire circuit as it was freezing cold, (quite literally, I think). The park has lots of these strangely arranged, enormous boulders.
Also found in the park are these sundews, just waiting for a tasty morsel to come along.
We headed out of the park and on to Ebor Falls. This is a spectacular double falls with a considerable amount of water flowing over.
From the valley lookout you could see way across the gorge to the west.
Several species of wattle are found around the falls.
This is the view from the lower falls lookout, looking upstream, where you can also see the upper falls in the distance.
Finally, some decent windy road. This is the route from Ebor toward Grafton, where we will be spending the night. The day has warmed up considerably, and we've got the roof down and we can smell the rainforest. Fantastic. This is the driving highlight so far.
We made it into Grafton, and I've bought some new undies, since I've run out and Karen refuses to wash while we're away. We're in a relatively inexpensive motel, which is just off the main strip in town, and also off the main road. Once the lady had taken my money, she told me that there's a disco in the pub across the road that goes until midnight.
We had a little walk around town, and came across this bush / tree. Any idea what it is?
For dinner we went to the Tree Tops Restaurant at the Village Green Hotel. We had entre and dessert, which neither of us finished. The food was excellent, but once again, we ate far too much. There's a recurring theme here I think.
The disco's getting into it's swing now I think, so we'll put some ear plugs in and go to bed.
