One of the things that I couldn’t do much of, while I had an unexploded aneurism in my head, was getting out and about in the bush. Not that I’ve ever been a super-energetic bushwalker, but I do enjoy short walks and seeing the country more than a short distance from a road or carpark! But now that the aneurism’s gone, I can venture further, without stressing about a cerebral bomb exploding.
Yesterday Gordon and I took a day trip to Kings Plains National Park, about 50 kms from Inverell. We walked – or rather, rock-hopped! – along Kings Plains Creek, to where it falls in a series of small waterfalls down through a gorge. Not a long walk, really, only a couple of kilometres all up, but it felt good to be out and about again. Here’s evidence:
I need to regain some fitness and lose some weight, but that will come in time. I definitely feel that hopping over all those rocks and stones marks something of a milestone in my recovery!
More pics from the trip will come when I’ve been through my photos.
Bushwalking, or at least escaping to the outdoors and wild open spaces, is so good for the soul! Well done! Looks like a very interesting place to explore.
Congrats – I’ll bet that felt good!
Looks like a gorgeous spot to do it, too.
