Back tired but happy from time spent camping in Kangaroo Valley, our favourite spot. It gave me a chance to test the new Black Wolf Tanami(4EV)and I think it came through with dignity intact. I was still discovering new zippers and other curiously unexplained features days after we arrived at the camping ground. We had rain the first day and strong winds last night so a road test of sorts was had.
It was refreshing to camp in cooler conditions and this fact alone changed the dynamic of our camping party. Fewer people were in the park; we didn't need to think about swimming at the beach or at water holes, and we could legitimately light a fire every night. It was the most relaxing camp trip I've ever done. Even Tom seemed relatively calmed by the sheer natural spectacle that we daily woke to, the honking goose notwithstanding.
Driving back up the GWH into the mid-mountains, we were surprised by the very obvious and apparently sudden seasonal changes, as if autumn had finally got its act together. The quality of the sunlight and cool winds suggested, however, that winter was waiting impatiently, somewhere in the near distance.
five short days away -
a melee of red and yellow
assaults our return
