I took David and Vin up to Nimbin for a look yesterday afternoon and once they had checked out the drug dealings in the main street and had a beer at the pub, we then headed for the Border Ranges National Park, which as its name suggests, straddles the NSW/QLD border. It's wonderful to live only 25 minutes south of this park. I first visited it last year when I took Piglet for a drive through and more recently we had a quick visit with Glen and Andy. Steve stayed at home working (as he d0es) while the boys and I headed on a splendid two hour stroll through the rainforest and antarctic beech forest. Here they are posed in front of what maybe a 2000 year olf beech tree - Vin (bottom), Dave (top).
The flame trees are putting on amazingly vibrant display at the moment and we walked under occasional huge trees along the walk. They are starting to lose their flowers now so the leaf litter was bedazzled by these beautiful blobs of red.

David at front, Vin at rear. Vin found a large native snail shell that had been broken into by a noisy pitta. He was most impressed.
The walk was beautiful and you really did feel like you were in some primordial, sub-tropical rainforest, which is not surprising because we were!
