We always head down to the areas surrounding Mussel Pool. Honestly, when you drive into the park it looks bleak and barren and not really a nice place for a picnic, but once you get into the heart of the park, you come across places like this.
Scattered about the park are old farming relics such as tractors and machinery. They've also bought in an entire windmill.
The windmill isn't attached to a bore as far as we could determine (if it is, there's no taps or other outlet to access the water by) so this sign was pretty pointless...
Most of the trees had numbered metal tags on them. We have yet to determine the reason for these although some of our theories included : Dieback surveys, orientation marks and general tree species surveys. Next time I see my brother Scott, I shall ask him since he's a fandangled botanist and all!
Not the best specimen I've ever found but the best found that day. Our beloved Honkey Nut! When Boo and Mouse came a visiting, we made sure they collected some to take back to Scotland with them.
A chain that was around a tree log that was being held up by a big tractor.
Some of the frisky wildlife. I wonder if it was the same bugger who took a chunk out of my birthday cake when we were there last year...
That is all :)

Perhaps you're supposed to be really boring towards any water that isn't there for drinking purposes?
I saw your nut...
.. Please don't toss it at me :P
Gorgeous place! Though I think our magpies are a bit prettier than yours (I'll have to post pictures one of these days)--that sounded a bit mean, but it's more just noting the differences (and that didn't sound much better...lol). Anyhow, I love the pics you took, and thanks for sharing them!
