Went down into New South Wales on the weekend and the Border ranges are gorgeous!

There are so many rainforest plants there but I love the huge tree ferns and of course coming up out of gullies that can be a hundred feet deep or more, are long straight trunked gum trees - some have probably been there since before white settlement.

We were serenaded by the bell birds and although we didn't see any (very hard from a moving vehicle, and there is no place to stop) there were koalas in the area (you can smell them). On the way home I did have a pottoroo do a kamakaze dash across the road in front of me. Thank heavens that with all the hair-pin bends I was only going about 30km/h.
