03.10.10 Wentworth Falls, Blue Mountains NSW


A long weekend to mark the beginning of summer in sydney- wicked lets get outside! Unfortunately the three day forecast wasn't great, so we spent the mornings hanging about umming and ahing about what you do when it rains - we have forgotten. Eventually we got it together and on saturday we went climbing indoors and then on Sunday afternoon we braved the weather in the Blue Mountains.


The choice of a cliff hugging path provided us protection from the rain but threw us into numerous full flowing waterfalls. After accepting that first my feet and then the rest of me was going to be drenched it was great fun. Wentworth falls the final and most spectacular made sure we didn't escape with anything dry. On the walk back in a low, damp cave we encountered funnel web spider webs - luckily there weren't any spiders visible!! I wouldn't say we have adjusted to australian wildlife yet...we spent half an hour getting a huntsman out of our room the other day and they don't even kill you!!
