Still in a holding pattern
September 2023
Bulge in the side of the Dunlop.
My old Swift has gone places it was never designed to go. My family refer to it as the “the rally car”. After some recent repairs and a service I now have another issue with it so roaming last weekend was put on hold yet again.
When my mechanic was servicing the car he noticed a bulge in the side of one of the Dunlop tyres. The bulge has since gotten worse so looks like I will have to take it in to see if warranty covers it or I need to pay to replace it. I don’t trust the look of that on something like Gillies Range.
Dead Falls, April 2022.
By Tuesday I really needed some time in the bush so once again I decided to make use of the good old faithful nearby Barron Gorge. The destination today would be Dead Falls, a waterfall high up the side of Barron Gorge and once again it would be more about time in the bush than photos.

I was however interested to see what it was like now that we are in the drier part of the year. Indeed the track up was quite dry. Last time I climbed over this big rectangular rock it looked very different.

Earlier in the year during the wet there was a steady flow of water down the track and over the rocks. What a difference to the colours a bit of moisture makes..

Light also really effects how the colours in the rocks appear. By the time I had arrived at the falls we were well into that beautiful end of the day soft light. Despite the rocks being very dry I quite like this photo.

As I made my way back down the hillside the light got even prettier so when I was passing this little wet red rock waterfall I had to stop and take a photo. Nice walk in the bush before heading back to work for a very late night.
