           A “BEAUTIFUL” DAY
In typical Ian fashion, I had ideas where I might go but left it till the morning before I was convinced it would be Barren Ground.  Despite its unattractive name there was a promise of wildflowers.  I’d bypassed it on a previous trip but its curious name lured me in.
I’d zig-zagged up the Jamberoo Mountain Road the day before but I still managed to marginally overshoot the turn off.  Alighting at the carpark I could see I wouldn’t be alone, but you certainly wouldn’t call it crowded.
I chose the Griffith Trail, apparently it’s rated number #30 on N.S.W. top 60 day walks.  Tasmania really started something all those years ago when they came out with their top 60 brochure, stealing a march on other states.  I was so pleased when I cracked 40 of them but N.S.W.’s had escaped me then and continues to do so.  I have no idea where the rating on the sign came from.
The trail has a feature, a natural stone bridge.  That conjured up all sorts of images in my brain but I wondered if the 8kms would push my dodgy knees to the limit.  Nothing ventured…….
There was an expectation of wildflowers.  It had said on sites that I’d checked that now was a prime time.  They weren’t immediately apparent but when I came across the first batch it was merely a prelude.  Soon they were in abundance, at times the best displays I’d ever seen.  Violet, yellow and white were in profusion, scattered all along the edge of the track.

  • Australia, land of the beautiful sunsets.

When I think of Australia, I think of beautiful sunsets. This photo was taken last year on my 1 year backpacking trip through this beautiful country.
Probably the most astonishing sunset I’ve ever seen so far. 
Crazy enough I was walking down the beach all alone while this explosion of magic happened in the sky. I was quit surprised actually that no one else came down to admire it. 

“There's a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they're absolutely free. Don't miss so many of them.” ― Jo walton

Beautiful retreat

We stayed for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed all that the property has to offer. It is a 3 min drive into Berry, yet tucked away on a quiet and peaceful property. The owner is very friendly and the check in process was easy. We especially loved the surrounding trees and greenery. We could open up the house and let the fresh breeze put us to sleep at night. The house had everything we needed for our getaway.
