Heading south into the big smoke, but FIRST a stopover..deep into the gorge

Well it's the end of the day and we're sitting around the campfire.  We stopped in at Apsley Falls Gorge Campground.  We were the only ones here this afternoon, but we've had two more couples come in this evening while there's still daylight.

The falls and gorge are awesome.  The sheer cliffs and the long drop into the deep gorge (65mtrs and then some) are hard to fathom as we've been driving along the country side and you would never even think there was a hole in the ground this deep or this big.

From the campsite, it was about a 2 klm hike around the escarpment. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We enjoyed this walk around and finished our day out with reading our books and sitting around the campfire.  Tomorrow we head into Maitland to visit Chris's army buddy and his family.
