Day 29 - Arcadia Valley

Day 29 Arcadia Valley Escape 7210km

The full moon was huge last night, the sky cloudless and there was no incentive to go to bed early as the campfire was so cozy.  Needless to say we had a slow morning.

Our adventure today initially took us to Munroes Lookout .. I picked it straight away ..
Two hills, uniform in size, that looked exactly like ... well, Marilyn Munroes busoms 😆

Some one on this farm has a great sense of humour!

Great view from the top all around.  Next visit we’ll be more adventurous and follow Leichardts footsteps- a 12 km circuit walk around the property’s escarpment boundary.

One great big Australian Bustad flew up and gave us quite a shock and we saw
2 of the largest heron or storks we have ever seen. They were more than two foot tall and in the Wetlands.

The cattle yards here are unusual in that they are round and Rowan later explained it was much easier to get cows & bulls into a rounded yard.

Part of the fun staying here was coming across unexpected humour in the clever naming of the places and in the materials used for the buildings... like a water tank which was the toilet and the shower up at the “Outpost” holiday accommodation.  The view from there was incredible with the whole valley laid out before us.  Will definately stay there next time.

Popped in for a quick hello at Rowan and Maddys house and stayed for a cuppa and chat before we were invited to help move cows to another paddock.  It was a great sight to see so many lovely Ladies marching past in an orderly fashion when Rowan called them.  Driving there and back was fun too in an “all terrain vehicle”

The evening was spent around our campfire under the stars again - it’s going to be hard to leave tomorrow.
