15th September 2014 Mt Carbine

We left our camp wishing there was lots more places like that, but we think they are pretty rare.
We had decided to stay the night at Mt Carbine as we had stayed there on the wsy up, it was clean and quiet.
This caravan Park is renown for all the different types of birds, so much so, there are bird wstching tours brought into the park.
On the way we had to go down the range that I had been worried about,  when we got to it the sign said buses and trucks must use low gear, it was a 9% decline.
The road was a first class sealed road but it was the steep sheer drop on the sides that had me nervous, as we went down it was only possible to go very slow due to the corners, then as we started down the overall veiw made me forget anything else.
There are no words to really describe it, awe inspiring, magnificent,  out of this world, unbelievable,  these don't come close.
I didn't get a photo, there was only a small lookout and a car was parked right in the middle, not enough room for us, it didn't matter a photo would never do it justice.
After dinner we were sitting outside watching an owl flying down picking up what looked to be mice, they were his dinner.
There are also tawny frogmouth nesting in the park as well.
