Today, we did a wonderful hike – but first of all a PS on yesterday: In spite of the rain and the thunder, we were able to grill our yummy Australian shrimps later on. We used the kitchen shed of the campground.
But we were happy to stay over night in the little, wooden cabins, managed by the nearby Lodge.
Next morning, we pitch up the tent and we tried our new camping chairs…
Finally, it was about noon, as we started to hike – so it was far to late for the long trail to the Coomera falls and further on. But the Park is really nice – and we decide to do the shorter „Dave’s Creek Loop“ – and maybe tomorrow the long one – that means to stay another night.
The Trails in the Lamington NP are again well maintained – it’s impossible to get lost. Nevertheless, we don’t meet hardly any other hiker – only close to the trail head, were all the tracks begin.
Our efforts are grated by impressing views – here we look from the hight of the national park to the east, direction to the sea.
On our way, we see many birds, that all do curious sounds – one like a whip, the other sounds like a crying baby.
Remarkable the black lizards on the way – here we met two, enjoying the sun in front of their cave:
But, after all even the longest 14 km end -and we reward ourselves with a sundowner – a cold beer for the sunset. Later, we cook again – and then we long for the air mattress!
