Went Lookin to Git me a Mountain Man

April 25, 2005 by

Umm,

(That’s actually not true, but I wanted to put ‘Git me a Mountain Man’ in a sentence.)

I did go to the Mountains today. The Blue ones West of Sydney.

While most people go to the Blue Mts to see the Three Sisters we avoided them and opted instead to go to Leura.

Leura is a really pretty, historical looking town with lots of crafty stores. For the 1st time in ages I managed to purchase long taper candles to fit a candle holder I have wanted to fill up since the old candles, well, you know… got all burnt up!

We (Bet, Chen and Me) followed up our window shopping with a walk down the Leura Cascades. I am embarassed to admit that this is the 1st bush type walk I have done since I came to Australia! Happily, it isn’t a difficult walk (though my out of condition body took a bit of a testing) and follows a river down over a series of cascades to a steep and rather pretty waterfall which drops down into a deep valley. The fun, of course, was the climb back up. (Time for a soak in the bath I think…)

The best part of the whole day is the fact that I thought about getting out of Manly and got off my and butt did it. It gets so easy to sit at home and work that it takes a concerted effort to actually do it. And when you do? It’s a great day!!!

Ed. I could go to the mountains today because I had the day off due to it being ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand. For an explanation about what that means check in on Fi

    So, any decent Mountain Men?

    I’ve heard that part of NSW is lovely…my one and only visit coincided with thick fog, so no Three Sisters could be seen!
