Bunya Mountains

Chris and I took a trip out to Bunya Mountains today where we saw the famous Bunya Pines. They are dangerous to stand under at this time of year because they drop pine cones twice the size of your head! When we were walking through the mountains the sound they make when they fall is a massive thud because they a falling from so high. In some places the ground actually moved! So some parts of our walk were at a fast pace!

We did the scenic circuit backwards by accident, so we saw this sign at the end of our walk. I had no idea it would be a 4km walk.

There were lots of Kangaroos, Birds, Lizards and we also saw a beautiful carpet python.

We wouldn't have stood under this Bunya pine if we had of heard a pine cone dropping before this pic was taken!!!

And I wouldn't have posed in this tree if I saw the following photo first!

These are lovely big leaves of a giant stinging tree, not bum wiping material (lucky we didn't find that out the hard way!)

A gorgeous little bush mouse

This is two Bunya pine trees that have morphed into one, I made Chris go under it :)

Once out of the national park, the scenery changed dramtically back to a more arid dry countryside. Now we are back at the van and it is pouring. Hopefully it's not a flood zone!
