Exchange Weekend at Kanangra-Boyd National Park

This weekend brought a planned weekend at Kanangra-Boyd National Park.  This was a weekend generously and thoughtfully planned out by a former exchange teacher who lives in Oberon.
 Weekends planned by someone local are often my favourite trips as they have been planned out by someone who knows what the local area has to offer, so they know where the good spots are.
 True to that model, Beth brought us 20km down this dirt road to the National Park for a hike.  Our car, formerly white, took the trip very well.
 We hiked around and stood in some fabulous spots.  I'm told that this area usually has some tremendous views.  As you can see, it was a wee bit foggy while we were there, so I'll let you use your imagination!
 The kids were up for the challenge and thoroughly enjoyed all of the hiking up and down, and up and down.
 This cliff face offers a sheer drop.  Monkey was told that he could wiggle up to the edge and look straight down.  My hands are sweating as I even type the words and I couldn't watch while he did it.
 We hiked over to this awesome spot as a family and Beth took some photos of us.
 We had a picnic lunch and things cleared up a bit for us.
 It was a truly beautiful spot for a hike and to have lunch.  Thank you so much Beth for showing us this hidden gem!
