Australia - 2005-04-04 - 1 - Dandenong Ranges National Park - Olinda Falls
On the previous day we had been driving most of the afternoon & didn't
look for a place to camp until a little before sunset. Where we finally
ended up was the parking lot for Olinda Falls. There was basically no
one else there so we just unloaded everything. Although first we had to
setup our tarp because it was raining and we didn't want all of our stuff
wet. It was interesting getting everything setup & unloaded as we had
never done it. There were no showers at this spot but there was a toilet
& it was peaceful. We made supper in the dark, because it was completely
dark after doing everything else. We slept in the truck which was ok,
but quite a bit different to get used to after coming from single dorm
beds. It was also really cold, we had both of our sleeping bags & the
two blankets that were with the vehicle & were still cold. For anyone
who knows how warm I usually am that says something :) One thing we knew
was that we really needed to get things better organized, which we did
after sleeping the night there. We also cooked eggs, beans & bread for
breakfast which was a good way to start the day. After getting everything
loaded and such we did the walk to Olinda Falls. The trail was an interesting
walk & the falls were ok, but nothing spectacular.
