Day 247
Friday
1 September 2017 – Started my next novel “Elizabeth is
Missing” by Emma Healy, I am expecting this one to be a but heart wrenching but
hopefully uplifting also.
Bonogin - Springbrook National Park - Nerang - Robina
Another lazy start to the day, though my head was clear
after having a quiet evening I was still feeling somewhat tired. We heard
Kirsty out and around the paddock as she had lessons to conduct in her
equestrian arena.
We eventually pulled ourselves out of bed, sorted ourselves
out and put the washing on. Scott came out feeling a little shady. He and Paul
went off to check the yabbie nets but came back empty handed.
We stood watching Kirsty given a lesson and chatting to her
husband and Scott for a bit before thinking about heading out. We put the
washing out and then packed up our lunch and headed to Springbrook National
Park.
We had attempted to do this run last week but were foiled by
a road closure, so today we drove to Nerang and then followed the road and the
signs out to the park.
We parked and then went for a walk through the green forest,
large birds nest and staghorn ferns clung to the trees high above us. We
followed the walkway to a number of viewing platforms where we could see the
water cascading away and then as we moved further down the path, the Natural
Bridge in which the water falls through to the pool below.
It was a pretty spot
and worth the trek out.
We returned to the car and then drove back to a nearby park
to have our lunch and enjoy the spring sunshine.
Following lunch, we returned to Nerang to pick up required
groceries before making our way to Robina station to return our train cards and
receive our deposit back.
Just after 3pm we were back at the van and packing our bits
away. Paul wasn’t feeling the best, so he was straight into the meds we had
with us. I sat about going through the photos and putting up things online.
Meanwhile Paul did his reviews from yesterday.
When he was done, he went off to hang out with Scott while I
continued my work for another 30min. I joined the others out the back for a
drink before Kirsty and Scott had to get themselves ready to head out for
dinner with the family.
We returned to the van and took it easy for the evening. We
had a quick and easy meal and then settled in for the night.
