Cairns Road Trip woo hoooo day 1 ;-)



It was an easy drive up the Newell, bringing back many pleasant memories of previous trips in younger days. I arrived at the Warrumbungles late afternoon, with the afternoon sun lighting the volcanic cores with a warm orange glow. Cheers to magic hour.


Driving into the park towards the campground, I saw a snake on the road catching the last of the sun's warmth.


There were lots of small kangaroos in the park, and they were quite tame too. I saw lots of young joeys, which were very cute as they looked back at me quite inquisitively. I set up my camp quickly, and it was a most nice place to camp. There was a good large toilet and shower block, as well as a covered BBQ area. After the tent was up in about 15 minutes I cooked myself some simple Satay Me Goreng which is very delicious and finished dinner off with a sandwich. Then it was off for an early sleep, in preparation for my walk tomorrow.
