Woken early by the hot air balloons again, they were floating majestically about the only sound was the burner, not a breath of wind anywhere just crisp early morning sunshine.
As we watched one of them came down and landed in the paddock that we are camped in, it was such a gentle touch down, it was hard to believe, it would have been great to have been in the basket but they charge several hundred dollars, so I will watch from the ground.
After breakfast we went out to the Davis Creek National Park to the water falls, (more falls).
The drive up the mountain was pretty hairy for me, Merv was driving and taking it very steady but with the track in places one vehicle wide and a drop off the side of 75 metres, I was barely breathing. Merv did say when we got to the top that he was wondering how I was going, he knew I wouldn't be liking it, but I told him if it got to the point that I felt sick I would ask him to stop and I would walk, I know that a lot of people would think it silly but you just can't control things like that.
The falls were very nice, the veiw out across all the mountains never fail to amaze us, we had some fruit for lunch then, (oh no) headed back down.
After that I needed a treat so we went to the Emerald Creek Ice creamery, they make all their own icecream from local cream and fruit.
We both had a double scoop and sat out on their veranda to eat it, because we were there when we finished we just had to have another one, I don't think that you can ever get too much good icecream.
Punishment time, because we ate 4 scoops of icream it was time to go to,(here we go again) another falls, this time Emerald Creek.
The road was ok going to this one, we came to the base of the mountain, but instead of the trail going to the bottom of the falls it went one and half kms up the hill, steep hill, that used up one icecream.
The falls were average but the veiws were pretty spectacular again.
Back to camp to veg and cook dinner.
