A week in the Mountains

Post by Martin_S »

The wife and I spent a week in the mountains exploring a place called Lamington Plateau on the Queensland - New South wales border region.
The highlight of our week was a 2klm climb to reach a place called Cave Rock. The climb was hard but the view was worth it.

Hi Rainer, the middle of the continent is quite flat once you get past the ranges. :D
