Blue Mountains – Hiking to Lockley’s Pylon

I wasn't too keen on driving on another dirt road. I felt sorry for my car. However, to get to the Lockley's Pylon in the Blue Mountains, it's the only way. I would not attempt that drive in the wet as the road gets quite steep at times and…

Mermaid Pools – Tahmoor

I'm starting to enjoy the walking. I didn't think I would; it always seemed to a bit mundane to me. I guess, walking around a block a few times would be mundane, but add a great location and suddenly the walks make sense. That is what I felt…
