A walk on the wild side

The last week of school holidays was filled with the usual activities - movies, a play at a friend's house, a trip to the library, afternoon tea in the gardens and lots of swims and craft activities. The highlight of our week was our three hour rainforest walk to the Treerop Walk at MacRitchie Reservoir. Matt invited a friend from work along and his fiance to join in the jungle adventure. Along the way we saw two mildly venomous snakes, a lizard, a giant centipede, a squirrel, lots of fish, butterflies and dragonflies and plenty of monkeys. Alice described it as "like a zoo but with no cages." We got very hot and sweaty but it was all worth it for the great views, the wildlife and the amazing lush green vegetation.
