Welchman Hall Gully



After visiting Harrison's Cave our next stop was a visit to Welchman Hall Gully.

Stepping out of the car in the parking lot we quickly realized that there were a lot of chickens around. We were particularly amused by the rooster perched on top of the phone booth.



The gully is basically a nature reserve full of many native species of plants. There's a path to follow through the gully that was formed when one of the caves collapsed. You could even see stalactites on some of the old cave walls at one point.



We were fascinated by this bamboo. We had never seen it growing in a tree formation like this.



There were lots of creepy crawlies on the ground. Had to watch your step!


A good view of the cave walls


I try out my Tarzan skills



We had a nice dinner at my parent's apartment that night, one of the few of the trip.



And then dad presented Rob and I with our signed copies of his book.

Good times!
