Back from Camping in the Mountains

Wet and muddy rainforest camping.  2 Days in the mountains behind the Gold Coast, here in Queensland.  The highlight was a walk through the rainforst canopy at O'Reilly's.  The bridge felt kind of Indiana Jonesish- and it was a good 40 feet to the forest floor.

 

In the middle of the walk, there's a ladder that takes you up to a platform at the very, very tippy top of one of the biggest trees in the forest.

 At the end of the walk there's an area where the local wild birds are accustomed to coming in and feeding from the hikers.  (Birdseed is sold nearby)  There were King parrots and whatever this thing is on my hand, everywhere.

The kids loved it, and a nice soggy time was had by all - though it's good to be home.
