This part of Australia has been awesome. The recent rains have left this place so green and cool. Yesterday, we went through another valley. This one is Rocky River Rd. It meanders down through a beautiful valley and then climbs up into a rain forest and out the other side to a small country town. The cows and sheep wander on the road and most of them had found shady spots under the trees. The river that ran alongside the road, was filled with granite boulders all through. This road is not listed as a sight seeing tour, but we found it by pure accident. It actually cuts through farming properties.
I saw the road on the map, and we hemmed and hawed about whether to take this road or not, but in the end, we are so glad we did. The sites are so BEAUTIFUL. Both Chris and myself just love the country atmosphere and this area had it in spades.
We saw one of the biggest bulls I've seen in quite a while. The blue sky reflecting on the running water and the water courses that ran over the road many times through out, were just beautiful. The day itself was just glorious and you couldn't have had a better day to tour.
As we came out of the forest, we came across a hidden valley and both Chris and I started thinking of the Ponderosa, from the show Bonanza. (boy!..THAT was many years ago!)
This is a tour worth seeing again if you like the country side.
