QUEEN MARY FALLS

When we drove home from Tenterfield a few weeks ago we went on the back roads and stopped at  Daggs Falls and Queen Mary Falls.


 Daggs Falls are accessible by road. Just a few metres from the car park there is a lookout.

King parrot and Eastern Rosella
We drove on through beautiful mountain scenery to Queen Mary Falls. Before hiking down to the falls we had a coffee in the cafe. Outside the cafe you could feed the wild parrots by hand.


 Hiking down to the falls.


 The track passes close to the foot of the falls. 

Then we started to climb up the other side of the valley  on a circuit track back to the picnic grounds and cafe.

 Then we crossed a bridge over the top of the falls.

And back to where we started. It was a lovely hike.

 We drove on to Spring Creek cafe for lunch. It is perched on the side of the mountain in the middle of nowhere.

The views were breathtaking and the lunch delicious.  My header photo was taken from here too.

I am going away on a trip to Cairns, Darwin and Adelaide tomorrow. I am trying to learn how to blog on my mini iPad. Please forgive me if I don't get to your blogs for a few weeks. I will probably stick to Facebook while I'm away and blog about the trip when I get back.
