Yesterday was time for another hike which means that my legs are aching today thank god for a late start day gives me time to rest up a bit.
I first went to Darkes Forest to find the Maddens Plains waterfall we haven't had rain for a while so it wasn't the best day to try and get photos but after walking to it I wasn't going to leave without getting something the viewing platform doesn't offer a great vantage point so I went for a mini adventure across the top and scaled down the other side couple of feet and it definitely paid off





but its such a view even without the waterfall that I couldn't help but take some photos of the rest of the river and sights around here











there's a lot more photos so hang on in here with me because after this feeling slightly but not completely underwhelmed I decided to move along to Sublime Point which should be called the death hike I'm sure at a staggering 1300 ft high this walk was only a good idea if you start from the bottom but of course I decided to start at the top and kill myself trying to get back to the car.



I took these photos before the hike not knowing what I was getting myself into it was steep and I'm almost certain that my legs turned to jelly half way through and my heart wanted to explode out of my chest.
You know the hike is steep when they have ladders built into the track.





I also found a new hat while on the hike inspired by nature 
Right at the end a lovely gentleman on a Harley Davidson arrived and after biting the bullet to ask him if I could have a photo on it i got what I consider the best after hike photo of my life.

Yesterday was going to be an icing day for the cakes we made Tuesday but as I was given the car with kiddie seats instead we went on an adventure.
First we went to the park luckily for me its right next to the beach 

after 2 hours it was time for the boys to have a nap so we took a drive which meant that i was able to stop for some photos at one of the beauty spots around here


just as I pulled back up at home the kids woke up and as they hadn't had that long of a nap we tried a longer drive out to send them back to sleep but this didn't work very well so we went to Stanwell tops and watched the hang gliders which gave us a great view of the coast and showed just how high I walked on my hike the other day.

After an unsuccessful attempt at keeping a journal I have decided to give blog spot a go whether this works better is yet to be seen but I'm hopeful for now enjoy some photos from my hike yesterday.
