Drysdale Station and Mitchell Falls (June 20th – 23rd)

20/06/2013

While we were packing up to go to Drysdale station it started raining!!  We left at about 8:00am to 8:30am.  When we got to Drysdale station we set up and had a burger at the restaurant for lunch.  We took pictures of our burgers because they were in a holiday advert! In the afternoon Mummy and Daddy packed up and got ready to attempt the Mitchell Falls in tents, while Oliver and I played on DS”s and iPods!

Early in the morning we got up and got ready to go to Mitchell Falls with the tents.  It took us 5 hours to get to the Mitchell Falls campsite.

It took us about an hour to walk to Mitchell Falls and when we got there we had to walk across a river crossing to get to the other side.  Daddy taught us how to do a reef knot.  We walked to a lookout where we took the classic shots of Mitchell Falls.  We went down a natural waterslide and on the way back we swam in the creek that you have to cross on the way to Mitchell Falls.
