Water Trouble

Too much water here:













Not enough water here:












More details to follow.


The walk photos are from Grovett's Leap on the way to Evan's Lookout in Blackheath. We didn't make it the whole way to Evan's Lookout because the fog and rain rolled in and blocked all chance of actually Looking Out. It was a good walk, none the less. Molly is dressed for the weather and even Charlie put his favorite, broken-zipper sweatshirt on over his uniform of short sleeved shirt and "short sleeved pants".




The paths wander all along hill sides, over tops of waterfalls and along cliff edges. Can you make out the Conlin trio at the top of the waterfall? The steps into the valley looked very intriguing, but the threatening weather made us hesitate.







Before and After








Now, back to the water shortage. Mike keenly noted the steam rising from the hood (bonnet?) of the car when we got to our first destination. Two opinions later, we signed up for a new radiator at the Blackheath service station. We still managed the Cliff Top Hike, a brekkie for lunch at a place call the Savoy in downtown Katoomba, and a peek at the Three Sisters from Echo Point before the part they needed showed up. We heard the Three Sisters was overrated, but being one of three sisters, it was worth the stop. The tour buses beat us there - we're not used to crowds, so it was a bit shocking. Here they are alone and here I am alone, without Julie and Kim.
