Where's Daniel?


Off to explore Daniels Ridge the other day, in the Wollemi wilderness in the Gardens of Stone area north of Lithgow.

It was named after Edward Daniels, a bushwalker who had pioneered the route and led walks for the National Parks Association. But for us, our trip was inspired by our own Daniel bushwalker, who in the event couldn't make it. He was there in spirit anyway.











As ever the views were excellent, and the remoteness inspiring.






You look down on creeks and canyons (with names like 'Heart Attack').

If we'd started a bit earlier we would have gone on to the northern end of the ridge and attempted the climb down through the cliffs via the heart attack-inducing Daniels Pass.

 Or maybe we wouldn't have.











Maybe next time!
