The trek to The Glow Worm Cave cont.

So many pictures, and my son Ben's to see too.

Apparently, he was able to capture some images of russet coloured, fleeting small birds.
They danced and spread their tails like fantails.

 So many majestic escarpments, and valleys. 


 Many a waterfall after the rains.

 Small points of interest like this fungi.

 Bec and Mike. 

 Colorful lichen on rock faces.


 Ben meets a local resident. 

 Smile for the camera!





 Sarah watches Ben doing his photography. 

  Many ferns and treeferns, especially as we neared the cave, where it was lower and damper. 


 A riveted relic - a large steel pipe.




 Entering The Glow Worm Cave, cut out from rock, a curve in the middle. 
As the light does not pass this bend, it is an ideal habitat for The Glow Worms, 
which live there. Little dotted patterns of light are scattered across the walls and above the ceiling. 

 It takes some concentration to be sure footed, inside the floor is rugged 
and uneven. There are many sections of pooled water. 


 Exiting the cave at last. A little glen outside, a waterfall and this humorous sign. 
If you still had the energy you could keep trekking to Newnes.
