Bush walking in Tathra: Kangarutha Trail
















What a walk! Loved every minute of it, even the pain in my legs as the steps steeped up into endless succession. It was just amazing how the scenery changed from tunnels of ghostly grey trees to steep descent of fluorescent green vegetation. Up above the trees swayed with the precipitous gusts of wind and the wallabies leaped away from us as we approached. The long walk and painful joints were worth the effort as we arrived at Boulder Bay. Our eyes widened in awe at the beauty of this place. Crystal clear still waters surrounded by cliffs and meeting the coast on a beach of pebbles. We sat there and just enjoyed it. I took my shoes off, put my pants up and dip my feet in the cool water just to feel that place a little closer. The indescribable beauty of this place seemed untouched, ancient and just reminded me how powerful nature is.

Que caminata! Me encanto cada minuto, incluso el dolor en mis piernas al elevarse los escalones en sucesion sin fin. Era increible como el paisaje cambiaba de tuneles de arboles grisaceos fantasmagoricos a bajadas vertiginosas de vegetacion verde fosforescente. Arriba nuesto los arboles se mecian en las rafagas precipitosas de viento y los canguritos se escapaban al sentir nuestros pasos. La larga caminata y los dolores de articulaciones valieron la pena cuando llegamos a Boulder Bay. Nuestros ojos se abrieron en asombro a la belleza de este lugar. Aguas quietas y cristalinas rodeadas de acantilados encontrando la costa en una playa de piedras redondeadas. Nos sentamos ahi y simplemente lo disfrutamos. Me saque mis zapatillas, me arremangue los pantalones y meti mis pies en el agua congelada solo para acercarme un poco mas a este lugar. La belleza indescriptible de este lugar parecia ser intocable, antigua y parecia demostrar lo poderosa que es la naturaleza.
