Warrumbungles Spring 2003

Sorry fo not putting names on the pics till now, was nocked down by tonsilitis for most of the week after our trip. I guess playing in the rain, climbing in the rain and breathing heaps of smoke isn't good for you...

Rodney, Tim, Susan, Linda and I spent a week of temperamental weather climbing the humungous volcanic spires and dykes at the Warrumbungles National Park.

A T.R. will hopefully eventuate!
