Soupy Saturday, Sunny Sunday
Cleaned up the house a bit more on Saturday, in anticipation of showing it to people for Finn’s room. Turns out he’s going to leave in eight weeks, so we’ll put the new house mate search on hold for a few weeks.
Made pumpkin/tomato/carrot soup – which turned out pretty well. Tried to make tomato/spinach/capsicum/stuff soup, but that turned out more like chutney. Still edible though.
Spent Sunday hiking around Namadgi with Tom. We didn’t walk far in the end, left a bit late and were a bit lazy.
We headed up Shannahan’s Mountain, just to check it out. Nice view from the top, and we got there in 15 minutes, so it’s one to remember for a quick stroll.
Walked around the Mt Clear campground for a few Ks. It seems the National Parks people have gone mental and think they’re running a sheep station, at least that’s the only explanation I can think of for the freakin’ huge dam they’ve dug. Since when can you dig dams in a National Park?
Ran, literally, up to Boboyan Trig just before sunset – 18 minutes from car park to summit. Not bad for a 2 hour trail. Good view from there too.
Stopped past the lookout on the road for sunset, but it wasn’t real specy – not enough clouds.
Couldn’t resist heading to the Tradies for a nice bloody steak, and then to Trinity for a few ales to end the day.
Took a few pics of the walk …
