A nice leisurely start to the day with breakfast by the campfire while Peter played Good Samaritan and delivered a walk-in camper with a hurt leg to a previous camp back up the road where her support crew were camped.
Before packing up the van, we wandered down to Boundary Falls picnic area, meeting a large fat black snake along the way. Thankfully he decided to slither in to the undergrowth as we approached. In the picnic area we successfully found an old cache and then descended the many stairs to the base of the falls. It was worth the effort. Crystal clear water, sheer rock cliff faces, several varieties of moss and lichen and general loveliness.
A bit of a scramble around and a rock hop across to explore the other side of the creek before we heaved our way back up the stairs to the top.
A quick pack up on our return to camp and we were Glen Innes bound. Arriving just after 11am we managed to check in early, giving us plenty of time to set up the van, do a supply run, get some laundry done, visit the visitor information centre and take a drive around town to familiarize ourselves with it again.
Sarah soon befriended the kids from two sites down and disappeared until dinner time. Funnily enough they live only a suburb away from Sarah's school.
The weather has been beautiful during the days so far while we keep reading of storm warnings at home. We sure picked a good time to leave.
