Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #203: Local Vistas
Everyone ready. Get comfortable. Put some music on
OK, turn left out of the gate and down the road
Turn left and head down to Lilydale
Go past the Ospreys nest
Yes someone has to open the gate
and here we are at Lilydale. Want to go for a quick swim?
Back in the car we rattle over the old wooden bridge and are soon at Cangi
It is rather peaceful and a good place to grab a bit to eat
Back onto the highway and head up the Gibraltar Range
First stop is always at the Raspberry Lookout
Where we will find native wildflowers like these Paper Daisies
or other native flowers with Blue-banded Bees
and perhaps a Nobbi Lizard sun baking on the rocks
among the yellow Paper Daisies
Just a bit further up the road is Washpool National Park where the first stop is Granite Rocks
and then further into the valley and into the rainforest where the giants live
Time to head for home back down the highway
and down the road to home
Through the gate
and time for a cup of tea
Nice tour Brian. You have a lot of straight roads in your neighborhood!

That’s great Jo. I’ll take you to the Raspberry Lookout when you pop over for a visit. Not a bad weekend at all. Didn’t do all that much but Lunch with my youngest daughter on Saturday was good 🤗💕

That bridge reminds me of one over the Mupfure River near Selous – only that was concrete because otherwise the Termites would destroy it in a week or so 😂

We have some hardwood trees that white ants don’t even try to gnaw at 😂

What a great trip, Brian. Still looking for the raspberries but that’s ok. The video says it’s unavailable to me. Ah, well, I had fun anyway.
