Old Joe Hill

Today we went on a “bush walk” and made it to the top of Old Joe Hill, the highest point in the nearby Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve.

Dave meets a Shingleback Lizard near the start of the trail. It was slow-moving and determined to hide in the grass at his feet.
Carrie leads the way.
We’re going to THAT hill! Old Joe Hill, the highest point in the nearby Goorooyarroo nature reserve.
I wonder if Matilda ever waltzed by this billabong.
When they’re only half-way up, they’re neither up nor down.
View of the city from the same spot.
Nearly there!
Finally!
Well-earned snack at the top of the hill.
Nothing compares to the wild and untamed beauty of the peaks.
Wind-swept Carrie.
