Gallery of log for Mount Tilga
I had the day off from fencing work today so decided to be a tourist and check out the art trail between Forbes and Condo. There's some, um, interesting sculptures along this road, a couple of really good ones, and one "amazing" one. Hahaha.
I decided this trig had to be visit also. I'm really glad I did it because that was the highlight of my day. It was all downhill after that. High-light ...downhill ...from a trig ...get it? Hahaha, I crack myself up.
It was actually the best thing about my day. I got to go 4wding! I drove right up to 100m from the top of Tilga. The last 100m was a nice step walk where I found some really cool rocks. There's heaps that look like broken stalactites or mites, and a few white rocks with fossils and tiny pockets of crystals in them, and some flat quartz chunks with shiny golden stuff on both flat sides of it that I'm pretty sure wasn't gold.
Up top the view went for miles and miles and miles. I swear I could almost see my old friend Mt Boppy in the distance. Not really, but still... the view was sunburnt, sweeping, wide, and brown, edged with a mountain here and there, and dotted with unpainted grey silos and a farm house here and there.
Sadly there was no rock cairn here, but the pin was easy to find. It wouldn't be hard to build a rock cairn if you had the time and it wasn't so hot. If the surveyors really do still use them they might get upset though. Photos were taken of the view and moi (left the GPS 100m downhill so wasn't going to get it and return).
After checking out the art trail and utes before this, I decided to take a different road back to Forbes. I figured I had it sorted so turned google maps off and missed a turn. Thankfully i figured I was headed the wrong direction before too long and got back to town with just enough time for a quick shower before a baked pork dinner was served, with crackling. Yummo! Shhhh, don't tell my diet I cheated on it. Haha. Actually working with BlazeAid and getting a free feed prepared for you by someone else every night is really great except that it kind of throws any kind of diet out the window.
