This wombat (Bridabella) is next level cuteness... and also one of thousands of Australian animals affected by the devastating bushfires of 2019 and early 2020. I think COVID grabbed everyone’s attention during the last 18 months or so, and people may have forgotten about the fires.. but these animals who survived are still struggling, and need our assistance. I’ve put a couple of links below if you want to help, and there are lots more organisations if you want to look up different Australian animal rescue charities. #Repost @brindabella_the_wombat with @make_repost ・・・ time for bed sleepy head ….. just look at Uschi Bear’s squishiness 🐾 https://actwildlife.net https://www.wires.org.au https://www.australiananimalrescue.org.au * * * * * * * #wires #brindabella #australiananimalrescue #wireswildliferescue #actwildliferescue #supergorgeousness #instagay #helleaux #learningtosee #artnerd #inspirationiseverywhere #instagrammers #appropriation #artfag #arthag #Helleaux #StayAtHomeModel #shotoniPhone https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ7IhFojxKL/?utm_medium=tumblr

High Country - Brindabella NP

The first day on our High Country trip had us setting off early from Sydney and getting a good run down to Canberra for an early lunch at our favorite cafe in Bradden called Eighty Twenty. Once we, and the car were all refueled we ducked out the back of Canberra and in to the Brindabella NP looking for our campsite for the night at Flea Creek.  It didn’t take long before we had to air down the tyres, lock the front hubs and engage 4 wheel drive. The track seemed steep in places but harmless enough until we started on Gentle Annie Trail which required some low range action as the track got steep, especially the descent in to camp.  The LandCruiser didn’t skip a beat.  A great start to the trip.

We had the campground entirely to ourselves and after spending a couple of minutes establishing camp we went and explored the beautiful creek. It was such a tranquil place to watch and listen to the water running over the rocks. We were also being investigated by a mob of whiptail or pretty-faced Wallabies. They were fairly shy, but gave me enough time to snap a few photo’s.

We had a simple dinner and then settled in for an early night of reading and relaxing.  It gets dark pretty early now, so it was time for our bodies to get in tune with our circadian rhythm and we were asleep by 8pm. The only thing that disturbed us was a fire pit that someone had failed to extinguish decided to come alight again, nothing a shovel of earth couldn’t solve.

At 742m above sea level, the very windy peak of Mount Painter offered stunning views over Canberra and the Brindabella ranges. 😍 #mtpainter #canberra #brindabella #walk
