With the chores done at the olds' it was time to make my way home... so of course that meant setting off at a tangent.
Terrick Terrick National Park was my destination for the afternoon, as I hoped for a decent walk or two, and some nice views. Not to mention the Trig Points atop the couple of hills and one of the Burke and Wills expedition's camps.
Mitiamo, just to the south, sports a really interesting war memorial, with a Geocache to match. I came through a couple of years ago, but too late on a showery day to visit the National Park.
This afternoon, in welcome sunshine, I took a look at the track and decided to walk from the entrance. It turns out that near the start was the only part that was mucky from a few days ago, but the five kilometre hike was a much-needed leg stretch, and only the last couple of hundred metres are fairly strenuous.
There was a bonus dot com cache near the summit, and the view from here was well worth the walk.
Many thanks to Geocaching Australia for another incentive to climb a hill.
