Yep, so there was a second time to the Royal National Park, though this time the venture was inland. Still teeming with water features, this route had the added bonus of hills and whatnot. So, lets begin with a little recap: same as last time, 10 minutes of research, the night before, and we were set .. The day started off as little train ride to the town of Waterfall (known for its proximity to waterfalls). Well, where there's some waterfalls, there's some pools and we were on a quest to seek out them pools... cause.. why not. Well, getting to the pools were a mix of technical scrambles, followed by narrow trails with impeding branches and shrubbery. Well eventually we got to where we were supposed to go.

Well, damn them pools is pretty neat. (see pics above). crisp pools of crystal clear water.. what more could you ask?. well, warmer weather i guess. Also check out the pic to the right.. look at how big those plants are.. holy crap! that bushy looking thing could be the size of a small bedroom. It was like plants from the pre-historic ages. HUGE. I didn't even know plants like this still existed... it was like we traveled back through time. I know i'm rambling a bit about these big ass trees, but it was pretty cool to see. surreal almost.
Anyways, this day was just a bunch of hiking. Huge outlooks made of sandstone formations were perfect for cloud-watching and watching the day pass. The thing that surprised me the most was the lack of people on the trail. A beautiful park.. and not another soul in sight. I guess that was the best thing about that day too. We had all day to ponder the wonders of life and galaxies. Meander the mountains with only our thoughts.. it's something everyone should do once in a while. a little breath and crisp air never hurt anyone.
