Wentworth Falls

It's Sunday the 28th and the day before I leave for England. Linda, Kevin and I went to church and then drove straight up into the mountains to visit Wentworth Falls. They wanted to give me a last chance to see the Blue Mountains. We drove up to The Conservation Hut which serves up meals. We had sandwiches for lunch and sat outside looking out over the valley. What a wonderful view.

  After lunch we took a walk along to a lookout so we could see the Wentworth Falls. I spotted people much further down the mountain at a lookout nearer the falls. There are several walks round the falls area. We chose the one that said 'Easy with SOME steps' So I decided I could do that. Somebody's idea of SOME steps was a joke. We went down about 300 metres and it was all steps. As I walked down I thinking 'I am not going to make it back up this steep path'. Anyway the view was worth it. I could see across the valley a rock face where steps and footpaths have been cut out and the stalwart walkers were climbing up and down and along the paths to the falls.
I did make it back up. Kevin and Linda were kind enough to take their time so that I could go at my own pace and not get out of puff!
