It can take a 1hr to do the sky walk I wasn’t blown away, to be honest, but Adam and Claire liked it. The tower is awful. It swayed in the wind and the floor felt like it was going to brake. I’m smiling in the picture, but I was scared shit-less and ran down with my legs shaking as fast as I could after that picture.
7 min: Triplet Falls
It is about a 1 hour hike round trip. The national forest is pretty though. I took lots of pretty pictures. The falls is pretty! It is hard to take a good picture as the trees and shrubs are big so they cover it a bit. The picture does not do it justice.
1 Hour: Marriners Lookout
16 Min: Carisbrooke Waterfall
11 Min: Kennett River
We stayed about a half hour and ate in the town. A kookaburra sat next to use while we ate. There really are koala bears everywhere. You can also feed parrots. I was so happy we stopped because I was dying to see wild ones.
(23 Min) Sheoak Falls which we didn’t actually do. We were all tried and cold as it was pouring cats and dogs, so we decided to skip it. I wish we didn’t now, but we were on a time crunch.
29min Drive: Memorial Arch @ Eastern View
14 Min: Split Point Lighthouse
14 Min: Split Point Lookout
14 Min: Anglesea Backpackers
I would NOT stay at Anglesea Backpackers. You should try to find a better place to stay. This place was horrid. It wasn't the cleanest and the shower was awful.. plus the worst part was it was freezing the whole time. The only positive thing was when we checked in we asked if we would possible see a kangaroo from our bedroom. The host said no, but if you drive 5 mins up the road to the golf course they are everywhere. She was wrong about one thing. When we walked in our room and were about two min into unpacking I looked out the window to see a 7ft tall kangaroo just bouncing along. I squealed and ran outdoors. We all got so excited that we drove up the golf course. Boy she was right about that there were hundreds of Kangaroo's everywhere. I tried to get close to take a picture of one with her baby… Lets put it this way, I didn't want my tombstone reading Cause of Death: getting to close to a Kangaroo Mama that kicked her for stupidity. Once that mama stood up I knew I was in trouble and ran to my car for safety. Don't try to get close. It was a fun drive to see them all though. It was raining and cold so I didn't get really good pictures.
