Going stir-crazy after my Op, I decided to do a family day trip up to Enoch Point which I had heard much about but had never visited. We travelled in via Cumberland Junction and down Big River Road, where we came across a snake on the road. It looked like a Tiger Snake, and also seemed dead. Closer examination showed this to be incorrect, and I very quickly jumped back into the car! The trip to Enoch Point via Big River Road was definitely the long way, and the road was very rough, or at least it seemed so in my condition. We took a short cut into Enoch Point, crossing a small stream and had some trouble on the creek exit where it climbed up over a rocky shelf. But we eventually crawled up past some old huts and into the township. We had a nice lunch on the trackside shared with a kookaburra where some exploring uncovered some old house foundations and the remains of a leather boot, nails and all. A bit of fishing in the river up from the falls before it got dark, and a fruitless look for the cemetery (Damn forgot to bring my maps!) before continuing on down Big River Road with a few more fishing attempts then on to home.
