Shannon National Park - The Walk Trail Run

A short picture journey taking you through 9km of forest.  This was the first time I decided to run a forest walk trail.  All up I did two runs and one walk through it over Easter.  

Running a trail is what I will do every time I get out there from now on - such an amazing experience, traversing up hills, jumping over trees, rolling on gumnuts slipping on steep eroded declines - exhilarating and invigorating.. 

Come let's run... 

We start off near our campsite and head off to the sign that says walk trail

First "bridge" which is a fallen tree

Crossing the road made easy by going under it!

Choice of going the long route or the short route, we take the long route via the rock and then to the dam

Some pictures along the way, mushrooms, grass trees, trees growing from fallen trees...

On top (at the rock) phew that was hard going now downhill for a bit and then onto Shannon Dam

click on the image below and save it to your computer and then zoom into it - yup that is how these critters live in the forest..
