SWINGING IN THE TREES

We had two, lovely, relaxing days on Tamborine Mountain. Then it was time to wind our way down the mountain towards home. On the way down we stopped at the Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk.
This is actually quite a sturdy walkway and only swings a little. We watched others first and.......

 .......then it was our turn. The videographer runs ahead.

 We looked up and ......

 ...we looked down. That took your breath away.

 The skywalk ended and there was a path through the rainforest back to the car park.
It was dark and cool and the trees were so tall reaching for the sunlight.


 There were prickly plants and.......

....vines, small ones and..........

....big ones.

There wasn't much water in the creek, but it was pretty.

There was evidence of history and graffiti.  The slot was cut into the tree by the early timber getters hundreds of years ago. They inserted a plank to climb onto to saw the trunk.
Then it was homeward bound. In half an hour we were at the bottom of the mountain and 15 mins from home and reality.
