Anniversary

Well Alex and I had our two year anniversay on the 15th, but the celebrate we ended up going to Oreily's guest house at Lamington National Park!

Lovely spot as the mist started to roll in and envelop the mountain.

It was a very romantic setting although you cannot book a table for lunch or dinner or breakfast as you may have to share with someone else if the other tables that you were after are not available. In other words, if there are two of you and there are no tables of two then you have to share with either another couple or you are placed on a larger table and may be sharing with a family or a group of people from smaller groups. It is to promote communication between strangers. The good thing up there is that they have no televisions and no telephones in the rooms either!

Nice! But I suppoe when you go there the last thing you are really wanting to do is a session in front of the television. There are plenty of walks and the like that can keep you occupied. Like the one that Alex and I did that goes up the tallest tree climb! Not very good for people who do not like heights at all! A bit of a challenge to get Alex up there and he did not like the climb to the second platform as you are leaning backwards as you are climbing upwards. There is a cage around you though so that is okay!

But once up there I think he enjoyed the view! I ended up leaving him up there! Maybe it was a case of his fear for coming down being greater than that of getting up there???

There is also the chance to feed the birds when you are up there and as this was not something that Alex particularly wanted to do I thought that I would go by myself and have a look. The good ting with this is that you don't really have to have bird seed in you hand to be able to "feed" the birds. They will come to you quite willingly without there being any seed in your hand, just to check out if you do have any intention of feeding them.

When I was there, there was this little girl and her brother who decided that they would show off to me the birds that they had hanging arouond them eating their seed! Each kid would have been no higher than a meter but they had about several large birds hanging from them as well as sitting on their heads!

Crazy! So I thought that I would take a photo of the bird that was on the little girls hand, eating the seed she had been feeding them. Yes, well, did not really want to take a photo of the girl as I did not know her or how her parents would react to the photo and it was the birds that i was originally going for in any case.

Ah! Lovely!

On the way back home the following day, Alex wanted to go on a walk, so we went to Moran Falls. 4. something kms later and we reach the falls that Alex so wanted to see...So here is the photo -:

So there you are!! But here are a few other photos that I took and Alex may have taken along the way.

Oh and there is one for Tarnya !! Can you guess which one it is???
