Caving

I have deja vu. I posted a blog about our visit to the Jenolan Caves, but its not here....so trying again. 

They really r quite incredible. The caves that is. We toured the Chiffley cave. It was cold down there in stark contrast to the very warm weather out in the world. The formations were amazing. Em was a bit worried being so far in underground, but I think it was really the cold that was getting to her. Our tour guide was great. He had an affinity for engaging the kids. In my last attempt, I could remember his name...it's fallen out of my head now. 

He told us to check out 'blue lake' before we went. We did that and check out what we saw. Can u see what it is? Clue: look towards top of pic near where the shadow line is. Another clue: it has a bill and webbed feet but its not a duck! We watched as it climbed from this pool into the one behind. Our tour guide apparently told G to look out for it but u never actually expect to b that lucky. Usually u need to get up early in the morning or in the evening to spot them in the wild. What a bonus.
We added a rock wallaby and a wombat (deceased unfortunately - road kill) and then an impressive sized eagle to our animal watch list before the end of the day.

The road from Oberon to Goulburn was windy and hard work with the trailer, but rewarding. Interesting country. Then we headed slightly north again to Moss Vale and a cabin get away at Robertson.
