In the weekend Aleisha and I managed to tear ourselves away from the incredibly exciting Commonwealth Games and go bush walking. The trip we did was from Govetts leap to Blue Gum Forest and back to Govetts leap via Perrys Lookdown. It was 20km all up but the second day started with a 700m climb which was a bit of a gut buster. Here are a few photos from our trip but I will be putting more on my website in the coming days.

The mighty Blue Gums were actually a bit of a disappointment, but it was still nice down in the valley.
Some random small caterpillar that is probably highly toxic but looked cool.

Blue Gum Forest is notorious for its leeches but we only had one leeching incident which was quickly dealt to by some Starbucks salt.
