"Whereas the tourist generally hurries back home at the end of a few weeks or months, the traveler, belonging no more to one place than the next, moves slowly, over periods of years from one part of the earth to another." -Paul Bowles

Hiking at Belair National Park
Went on a 4 hour hike Sunday in Belair National Park (was meant to be 2 hours but we kind of got lost). My legs still ache today, but it was well worth it.
Strange, I could click on and enlarge the first and last 2 pics, but not the three in the middle. Anyway, it looks like a fun hike and I especially like the cute koala. Now that I've held one, I feel sort of an affinity with them. :) Is this an offshoot of your expat's group?
We spend a lot of our "days off" at Belair. Great trails around there. And it's a lot cooler when you get into the woods on a hot day --much nicer than the beach.
Nice pic of the skink, they are very easy to miss seeing even when right next to the trails.

i love hiking in national parks. It is so exhilarating.
No it's a different group.
I've not gotten to Belair yet, but am looking forward to it. Sunday was HOT though, that must have been a long four hours.
