Sandstone Caves and Sculpture walk

 

Made sure we were up in time to climb back up the tower to take photos of the sunrise. Only just made it.

 

 

 

 

The rising sun turned all the rocks into the most incredible oranges and yellows.

 

 

 

 

The Salt Caves were less than impressive as the roof had collapsed when they built the original tower. Apparently it used to go a long way in and there were stalactites of salt hanging down. Early settlers used to come here and get enough salt for months.

Had a walk down to the Salt Caves dam. It had very little water in it.

Then we packed up and drove to the Sculptures in the Bush. Lovely camping and day area there. I drove under Geoff's tuition.

 

Did the Sculptures in the Bush walk which is a series of sculptures located along a track overlooking a gorge. It was a nice walk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Holidays is such hard work!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A short drive took us to the Sandstone Caves

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was an amazing series of huge sandstone caves. The textures and colours were amazing.

Some of them looked like the interiors of cathedrals and there was a lot of evidence of Aboriginal living in them.
Nicest hamburger I have ever had at Coonamble for lunch and then a long drive to Denman where we stayed overnight in a van park. Great to have a shower after 2 nights of none. But the mattress was very uncomfortable and didn't sleep well.
