A slightly cooler morning after last nights rain. My calculation based on looking at the buckets is we had between 10 and 20 mm.
We drove up to Mount Nardi a distance of about 30km. The last bit of road was covered with the leaf debris from last nights rain. At the top of the hill there were the two transmission towers we can see from here. After studying the notice board we decided to take a short walk down the trail to Mount Matheson. The trail travels through Gondwana rain forest which is why the area is world heritage listed. The walk was inviting and I felt we might end up doing the full loop until i took the first picture. I looked down and leeches were swarming up my socks onto my bare legs. I advised Susan and she had them to so we beat a hasty retreat back to the carpark pulling them off as we went. Fortunately we were the only visitors so we were able to partially undress and check ourselves out. Satisfied we were clean we headed to Nimbin where we called in at the Rainbow Power Company and then drove on to Lismore for some fuel. A pleasant surprise when the Everyday Rewards card yield a 15 cents/litre discount a nice $10 saving.

We returned to Dunoon pausing to take pictures of some of the road art. It is the work of a Nimbin resident who highlights where road repairs are required by painting patterns and highlights on the roadway. The state of the minor roads up here is pretty appalling in places as evidenced by the pictures.
