6th Week - Wednesday - Waratah

Packed up this morning we are actually going to be in a different town tonight, although only 70km down the road.  Arrived at Waratah at 11 and set up.  It is a council ran park with the sites being extra cosy.  Although at the moment we are on a double site with no-one next to us so could be lucky.  We had been told there was a waterfall nearby so jumped in the car and about 250 metres away is the start of the walk to the waterfall.  We didn't realise it was just there.  The waterfall was quite good and the walk down to it and back up wasn't too taxing.  There is also a viewing site from the top of it and they light it up at night.  We drove to Hellyer Gorge next (half way back to where we were this morning but on a different road to what we travelled).  Did the 15 minute walk along the river.  There is also a free camp here.  Back to the van and a stroll around the lake which is just behind us.  Apparently there are platypuses in it but we didn't see any.  There is a sign up on the bridge that crosses the river to watch out for the platypus.  Why they want to cross a road I don't  know.   We don't expect to have wi-fi or phone coverage for a few days so there may not be an update for 3 to 4 days.
