Gathercole Reserve

Some welcome cool weather yesterday gave us an opportunity to take a bush walk out at Gathercole.

Sharing today with  Scenic Weekends

Wonderful rock formations are a feature of this reserve

 

 

 

Gathercole Reserve

It was such a beautiful morning so we took a drive out to Gathercole for a walk. It is roughly a 3.5  klm loop trail but we ended up doing around 5 klm deviating. Each time we have been here the scenery has been different, gradually colouring as the months have gone by. 

The walk trail is easily followed by markers along the way.

There are numerous rocky outcrops with some interesting formations

 Can you spot the giant lizard, or is it a seal ?

Or the toes

This is Granite Kunzea. It is growing in cracks in the rocks. How it survives, let alone flowers prolifically is beyond me.

Everlastings making a wonderful carpet 

A dinosaur egg maybe?
