Last of the dirt

 We drove to Undara Lava Tubes today. But we came the round-about way via Copperfield Gorge and a dirt road that winds itself around the edge of the Newcastle Ranges. How wonderful that I got to explore the gorge on FaceTime with our 5 year old Grandson. After an afternoon nap we decided to go to the Kalkani Crater. A 600m walk to the rim up 130m… and nothing to see but a hole filled with more bush just like everywhere else. I think the tour brochure photo that showed a distinct crater formation was taken a long time ago.

A walk back down through the sunset was awesome, it is amazing how orange the light can get here. We drove home along a lonely road through a dusk filled with wallabies and brahmans.
