Ok, we had a bit of rain in the last couple of days, and I know that's not a lot of news for those of you in the wetter states (if any still exist in this drought/global warming world we live in). As you might guess from my username, I do a bit of hiking, and I've found a couple of places in the adelaide hills that have a bit of water every now and then, and are off the popular walking trails. Today, even though the light was junk, I thought I better go out there and grab them before anybody else discovers them, and before the water dries up.

This first one has been tugging at me as I walk past. It's one of those places that's definitely got a great photo in it, but you know that the slightest mistake can stuff it up. Bloody bracken...



These next three are a very special spot in the Waterfall Gully area.
It's my hidden waterfall, and I make a point of visiting it after rain.
I wonder if any of our other Adelaide members has found it?

The outflow and pool:



The shelf. There's a delightful little rock pool under the surface of the water:



The view from above the shelf:



The waterfall is fed by two streams that only flow during winter. Getting to the face of it involves some clambering over rocks and stuff, and risking a plunge in the water. Thankfully, there is very little blackberry here, I only saw one plant just under the rock face, I might even return in late spring and give it a dose.

Thanks for looking,

Michael
