Exploring Micalong Creek

Overnight conditions were cool and we were greeted to bright blue skies in the morning! Breakfast was a two take affair - damper on sticks followed by egg and bacon wraps.

The whole gang decided on a short walk along Micalong Creek to the falls. The first part of the route was fine but the track quickly became rough. A bit of rock scrambling was necessary.

The falls themselves were fairly underwhelming so the girls decided to explore a path which headed through a blackberry tunnel and up the side of the hill away from the river. One of the dad's and I stayed down the bottom with Indi, waiting patiently for their return. Indi paddled into the water while waited and waited and waited. Finally worrying enough, we decided we should go looking, so the dad ventured off. Within minutes of leaving though, the sounds of the girls were wafting through the bush.

These intrepid explorers had found themselves in a few precarious situations scrambling / rock climbing up some steep slopes before finally Andy hauled them back in! Tales of their adventure could be heard as we wandered hot and bothered back to the campsite.

 

While the girls cooled down in the river, we cooked a few sausages on the bbq for lunch before packing up the campsite and making the return drive home. Katy was thrilled with her party and we couldn't have been more happy to host the occasion with a wonderful bunch of girls (and dad's!)
