Rumbalara again

 

I returned to the Rumbalara and Katandra Reserves the other day, to remind myself what bushwalkerly delights are on offer up there near Gosford. I was last there four years ago. See here: 2017 post

 

It's still a good spot for a variety of walks, views, and educational experiences. You get to meet some of Australia's historical explorers too, for some reason.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Katandra Reserve, a few kilometres walk to the north.

 

Along the way you meet explorer John Eyre, lurking among the grass trees.

Some colourful sights yesterday in and around the Rumbalara Reserve near Gosford.

Explorers of Rumbalara

Actually I was the only real explorer of Rumbalara Reserve yesterday. I came across Matthew Flinders and John Eyre, or their statues at least. But their claims to fame are for exploring other places entirely.

Rumbalara Reserve is on the hillside above and to the east of Gosford. I did a nice little walk from Gosford to Lisarow, mostly on bush tracks and fire trails. It took three or four hours.
