A Flamingo at the Falls

I'm going through family withdrawals, as I do after I see them, every time.

Back before I got sidetracked by a sunset and a weekender to new places I was telling you all about my fantastic family fun. 

On Good Friday, when Sis G arrived, we headed out for a swim and to meet up with her work mates.

Crystal Cascades was the spot to be and one Sis G enthusiastically wanted to visit again.

So afternoon swim time it was, and such a nice cool off. The falls were looking low but still pretty.

We weren't the only ones around but for a brief time we got the waterfall to ourselves.

It was cool and refreshing. The freshwater swimming places are always cool here, even on the hottest days.

While we were there we even saw a giant pink flamingo going for a dip.

I think I know why Sis G loves visiting here. It is cool, relaxing, quiet and so different to what we grew up with. It is the best of the tropics all in one with rainforest and a waterfall.

The weather at the moment has cooled a little with a taste of Autumn greeting us early in the morning. I could probably still do a swim at Crystal Cascades any day though.
