Dad and Kate stood in front of one of the enormous trees we saw on our walk. There is also some bamboo growing to Kate's left.

DAY 15: March 4th, Broken River and back to Moranbah

After a hearty breakfast, and purchasing some wooden platipi (is that the plural for platypus?!?) which you may have been lucky enough to receive as a pressie, we packed our things and checked out of our cabin. We then had a walk planned, at 10am the ranger drove us to the start point of the ‘Crediton Creek’ trail and then we had to walk all 8.5km back to our car at the resort! The walk starts off at Crediton creek and then follows Broken river all the way back to where we spotted the platypus yesterday. The ranger told us that we might see some pythons in the rainforest as he had seen some a few days earlier, also there may be green tree snakes about. Due to the bad weather we had been having there was also a lot of tree fall in places that we may have to navigate around. We set off on what was to be a lovely walk mainly through the forest, amongst the most amazing trees and plants. We passed wonderful places like ‘Horseshoe Bend’, ‘Orchid Rock’, ‘Crystal Cascades’ and ‘Platypus pool’ and dubiously named ones – ‘The Bogie Pool’ which I didn’t fancy taking a dip in! Despite endless scouring for snakes, we didn’t see any at all – although I am quite sure that lots of them saw us! The walk took us about four and a half hours to complete so our feet were aching when we got back to base.
