Okay , back in Moss Vale for the doctors check ups and friend & family catchups , even a game of golf or 2 . Caught up with the family in Calderwood , hectic with all the kids there , but worth the effort . We headed out via Fitzroy Falls and through to Belmore Falls , then to Robertson . Weather was turning into a beautiful summer's day , good for a drive to see how things have changed since we'd last been here . Great to see a lot of the countryside is still just that , and not overdeveloped . The roads have aged a bit without a lot of maintenance by the look of it . It was good to be out in the forest again , winding our way down to Belmore Falls . The water still crosses the road , and is clear as ever - something that is taken for granted over here ! Clear and running water seems to be restricted to the eastern states , except for flooding of course .
There's plenty of new growth in the banksia's , as well as others .
After a wander around near the top of the falls , then we went out to the falls viewing points , not disappointing at all .
Banksia's in various stages of flowering were all around us .
Scotch thistles also thrive here , and aren't really friendly , but look good .
Time to find a good spot for lunch , preferably with some shade and running water . There's a spot I know , where the water flows down to the falls , nice and quiet . It has a natural bedrock causeway that the creek flows over .
Plenty of tree ferns and natural bush.
Lunch was consumed , and we attempted to catch up with Frank at Robertson , but he was busy , so we will catch up with him & Doris in a couple of weeks time .
Fast forward a couple of weeks and we caught up with them for a great catch up and cuppa . It turned into a busy day . From Robertson we headed out through East Kangaloon and into Bowral where we caught up with Wendy ( Hi Wendy ) for several more hours of chatting and laughing .
Corbett gardens were showing off a little - in this garden bed at least .
In between these catch ups , we had another interesting Saturday at Berrima pub , a school reunion for anyone who was at the MV High in 1975 . From being unsure of how the day would pan out , to spending 6 hours catching up with many school friends who we hadn't seen for along time - some since 1974 !!
We are enjoying our visit this time , quite entertaining .
