Blackheath

Hmm. It's a canyon! All the sign post said was 'Evan's Lookout'.

A walk along the crest

More from Blue Mountains.

Three Sisters Redux

Wait, wasnt I here before?

27,000km and eleven weeks ago, it rained but now the place looks quite different.

A private motorcycle collection

I just happened to stumble upon this show along the road - a local hotel owner is an avid fan of bikes, and these are his toys! A nice selection of restored Ducatis, Laverdas, old Brits and an interestingly modified HD.

It may be my last camping tonight here, and the location is truly unexpected one!

Halo

Bald Rock

A big boulder, the biggest on southern hemisphere. It's not as famous as Uluru, maybe because of its' (lack of) colour or it's not clearly visible in the middle of plains? Anyway, there's two trails leading to the summit: A direct one, with bare rock slopes (30% raise) without any steps or other help, or twice as long indirect route.

Ceder pines are groving near the top, on a thin soil that has accumulated there during the long years since the time begun. I wonder what would happen if someone would drag a sack of fertilizer up there...

The long trail up went over, under and between big boulders in some places. And there were some boulders just next to the edge, just waiting to be pushed a little...

I vandalized a little one rest place, leaving my mark there. Then again, the placement of these sheds are sometimes a crime against general aestichics... Its just a bluff on background, not the Bald Rock!
