Old Bus I found in the bush. Not sure of the history, but looked pretty cool.
It was good to have a quick little explore, but would defiantly be worth a dedicated trip up this way. Beautiful country, heaps of tracks, looks like there would be a few challenging ones to be found, and not many people at all.

Hut on the top of Mt Delegate. The bloke up the fire tower (DEPI) gave us a yell and let us up for a look. Pretty lucky, perfect day and the views were awesome. Kind of need to get up above the tree line to get the views anyway.

Had some pretty impressive weather come in over the weekend. After this it cooled heaps and the rain and drizzle set in. . . . to be continued
On the Monday we (Roofy, Jane, Kat, Steeve & Boogs) went for a drive into Briadwood to have a look, battled the crazy traffic coming back from the coast to Canberra way, had a pie at the bakery and bumped into Nicko and co and Winnie + Aims. Then we decided to check out the Big Hole, but after finding the river was up a bit too high to walk through we checked out the Wyanbene Caves a few K's up the road, which were pretty impressive.

Only a short walk up to the caves.

Drove down to Batemans Bay on Tuesday straight to the brake shop to get a new hose made up. He said he was waiting on some hose to come in, luckily it was there within the hour (time for brekky), new hose, met up with Winnie, and all fixed.
Found some cool tracks around Potato Point north of Narooma, which was a bit of fun. Pretty cool country with the Cycads and Spotted Gums growing right next to the sea.

Bendethera valley, NSW version of Wonnangatta valley. Nice spot, a few historic remains left from the homestead, heaps of camping spots.

Went for a walk up to the Bendethera Caves. Bigger caverns than the Wyanbene caves, with bats roosting right up the end (couple of hundred meters in)

That "big hole" photo makes me wish I'd come with you and taken climbing gear... Haha
Rossco I need to stop past and get you to show me on a map your journey as it looks brilliant mate.
