Our stay on the Atherton Tableland in
the little Hobbit cottage on Lake Tinaroo is sadly coming to an end.
Today we went out and did a couple more local activities, a hike
around Lake Eachem and a paddle around Lake Barrine. Last time we
paddled around Lake Barrine the rain was pouring down. Today, there
were about 8 other people paddling around on sit aboard (those kayaks
look so uncomfortable) kayaks. Good to see people out, but equally
amazing how many had to drive down the hill and park in the bus
parking lot because walking 100 metres with a 20 metre elevation gain
to the parking lot was too much for them.
I feel way fitter than when we arrived
two weeks ago. A fortnight of eating well, sleeping well, and
exercising outdoors each day will do that. The bouldering around the
cottage walls has been one of the most awesome parts of staying here
and I feel like I've got some climbing fitness back. There is an
outdoor bouldering wall in Cairns so I may even be able to continue
getting some climbing fitness back.
