    Default Bunya Mountains

    Hello1
    I've just spent a rather chilly (sleet!) weekend in a "chalet" up at the Bunya Mtns, SE Qld. 25-30 of us gathered for a 40th birthday, so much eating and drinking, especially port and rum!
    I've been there a few times before, but the place never fails to impress...the fattest, tallest Bunya pines you'll ever see, pressed together in rainforest gullies; tree trunks covered with a live coat of lichens and ferns; semi-tame parrots with the gaudiest plumage, making for plenty of great snaps of kids with birds perching on them (no, I can't post any... as the old fashioned SLR took what maybe its last journey!); and views from everywhere!!
    There is a small museum mostly about the early timber getters, and some old tools etc. I felt guilty eying off some of the Bunyas, lapsing into thoughts about those clean, bright slabs inside! The only woodwork I did was putting an axe into some ironbark for the fireplace!
    If you ever get to SE Qld, go for a drive, probably be about 3 hrs from Brisbane (I'm guessing here, as I'm only 1-1 1/2hrs away, being north of Toowoomba), you won't regret it...absolutely beautifal place.
    Cheers

    Change is inevitable, growth is optional.

    Spot on Andy Mac

    Spent time up there last year recovering after an operation. It was just terrific.

    The Bunyas are beautiful and the wild life is very impressive. After being there a couple of days we had to stop the birds coming inside to be feed

    Have a couple of shots not all that good, only a small digital camera

    Cheers Sam
