our guide, his knoledge is fauna and flora

a kangaroo track

 

The reserve was very small.

the track were use by horse riders

as this part of Duffy Forest is mostly

horses studs.

 

I was covered with little stings

I don't know what they are.

I had to use twizzers to

pull them out.

I am very itcy.

I also had a tick who burried himself in me.

 

(13 days later I am still itchy time to time)

It is a nice long walk with quite a few steps.

What a lovely view.

of the first so we could choose a nice table

with a view.

They jumped on it as soon as we got up.
