Labour Day Weekend - Sunday

Bushwalking

No snorkeling on Sunday!! Instead we all went up to the Lower Blue Mountains near Glenbrook for a bit of a bushwalk. I soon remembered why I don't particularly enjoy hiking too far in Australia at this time of year. A bit too warm for me you see. You've got to be in it to win it though and in the end this was an easy stroll and pretty level so it actually turned out to be very pleasant.

There wasn't much in the way of birdlife but there were a few critters running around on the ground. We found one Eastern Bearded Dragon on the path which decided to play dead and was so good we were pretty sure it was. You could pick it up and it wouldn't move at all and then suddenly when it thought it had half a chance it scampered off into the bush!

Lunch

A Red-Bellied Black Snake also crossed the path right in front of me. It was obviously on a mission and didn't stop or change direction for us. Although quite capable of killing you, these are one of the more relaxed snake species round here.

Jarrod and I completely fail to find any birds
