Today we went to Wollomombi Falls which is about 30 mins from Armidale. It rained a little last night and so we thought that it might be good to go and see if there was actually any water flowing over the falls. The drought has been severe this year and rain is a rare commodity. There was a steady stream falling but I’ve seen it years ago when it looked a lot more spectacular.
There are a few short walks and if you arrive there and go left you can walk for quite a fair away. If you are lucky enough you may see some wild life, today we managed to hear and see the amazing Lyrebird. If you have not heard of this amazing creature before then you need to Google it because it is famous for being able to imitate almost any sound including chainsaws. Today we heard it going through its repertoire of bird songs and then we actually saw it running through the ground cover like the Roadrunner..
It was a pleasant walk today because the path hugs the gorge and the views are spectacular plus the fact due to the rain this morning everywhere had a freshness about it and the lichens and mosses looked very colourful indeed.
