Mountain Climbing

Went out with Will on Friday. Nicole, with day off, offered some time for non-child related activities.

Coincidentally Eloise was having a little friend Piper around for fun and games after school. Like I say, a coincidence.

Will popped around and we drove up to Mount Beerburrum, which I last climbed a couple of years ago with Eloise in a backpack... maybe more than a couple of years ago.

My God that mountain is quite steep. We huffed and puffed our way up there, and as usual turned up much too early for sunset action, fortuitously as it turned out because the trees have grown somewhat and were rather in the way of the mountains, even when we climbed up onto the fire tower.

So we went for a little hike across the mountaintop through the waist-high grass and the xanthorrhea trees looking for a clear view, and failing.

So down we climbed and drove across to Wild Horse Mountain where we once again slogged our way up to see the views as the sun went down.
