Jasper gorge to limestone gorge

Image
We left our lovely little camp at Jasper gorge and decided to head towards Bulita Homestead. The drive was pretty non- descript but the weather beautiful and warm. When we got to the campground at Bulita we pretty much turned our noses up and thought there's got to be something better. So we had a look around at the homestead (which was really just a cottage), read the stories and after speaking to the ranger decided to go to Limestone Gorge to camp. The roads are extremely dusty and in surprisingly nothing in the back of the ute, but the cutlery draw was terrible.

Lawn hill adels grove

Today we woke up, had a slow morning and went for a drive to Lawn Hill. We are doing a boat ride down the gorge tomorrow morning. The boys went for a walk to the gorge, but as I had done it a few years back, I waited back at the water.  We came back to camp at lunch time and the boys went for a swim after lunch and Sue-Ellen and I went for a nanna.  We woke up about 3 and then we went for a swim in extremely invigorating water. Was cold but worth it.  I had cooked a beef stew in the thermos cooker so tea didn't have to be cooked. We ate that and the boys and Sue-Ellen are going up to the cafe to watch State of Origin.  Up early tomorrow to pack up and go for boat ride then come back and grab our vans and head to Leichhardt Falls for a bush camp tomorrow night.  -- Regards Elisha
