Well anyway, we rent a camper van and head south from Brisbane in March 2017. Still in Queensland, we stop at Springbrook Falls N.P. for a walk on a well established trail.
After half an hour or so, Deb begs me not to take her picture because she is feeling the heat.
The main attraction of this park is a waterfall where a small stream tumbles
off a plateau falling a long way down before continuing the journey.
Along our walk to the bottom of the falls a harmless green tree
snake entertains us. This one is for Henry.
Along the way we get occasional glimpses of the falls
When I was sixteen the thought of climbing down in the cool morning and up that long trail in the hot afternoon wouldn't daunt but . . . . at least a unique feature awaits us at the bottom where the creek takes another tumble and passes briefly through a natural arch or tunnel if you prefer.
The cool mist at the bottom offers some relief.
Eventually we climb back out and take one last look at that long drop from the top.

All in all it is an experience uplifting for both body and soul.
