Kanangra-Boyd National Park

This was a short weekend trip to the Blue Mountains with friends, which I usually don't add to the blog. I had, however, one of my most amazing wildlife experiences, so I thought it would be worth recording. A Spotted-tailed Quoll came into our camp site and decided to hang around for a while. This native Australian marsupial is listed nationally as endangered and very rarely seen in the wild. It was fantastic to get checked out by such a beautiful and cheeky animal.

The Boyd River camp site is gorgeous! If you want a good night sleep though, don't camp there. Greater gliders, sugar gliders, wallabies and possums are making a lot of noise all night long! For somebody like me, it's paradise!

Standing on top of Kanangra walls looking north, which is a completely different geology. These valleys are mostly inaccessible for people and a haven for Australian wildlife.

There is always something blooming in the Australian bush...

.... and always somebody who loves the hot weather!
