@Jonathan Fearne – OMG, that’s even scarier than being stuck above a massive crater with a group of backpackers intent on throwing something into the water!!! Had there been other similar reports?? Or maybe whatever it was just didn’t like the look of YOU!! I’ll be keeping my eyes & ears open next time we go there … although not sure I’d be there at dusk, you’re WAY braver than I 🙂

Strong smell of rotten eggs, animals all went silent then crashing thru the Bush came a watermelon sized rock which I saw land at my feet from in front and then a terrifying guttural growl just near where my wife was in eyesight of the car off to my left. Only 2 creatures throw rocks, humans and primates. This was a huge 20 + odd kilo rock, didn’t see what threw it but Im 6ft1 and can’t hurl a watermelon sized rock more than a few feet.. This came thru thick vegetation and I couldn’t see what threw it..scared the scrap out of us, we left in a hurry and I reported it..

Favourite campsites is a post I’ve been thinking about for awhile … stay tuned!! And I’m sure there are MANY alternative meanings for ‘twitcher’ – and more than one would apply to birdwatchers!!!
@FruitCake – Yeah, that and killing native wildlife etc etc … But yes, a dog would sink without a trace in the green hole of the Crater! I’ve always been partial to Saskatchewan …
@Freya – Welcome and thanx! For a world unlike any other, head down to the magical land of OZ!

And that drop looks eerily enticing.

Heights are terrifying enough, but a leech dripping rainforest is NOT on my bucket list.

Hypipamee has now replaced “Popocatepetl” as my favourite fun place name – and it’s Australian!

Love the campsites you show on your journeys. Perhaps, one day, you might do a post on some of your favourites 🙂 That drop into the pond would make me jitter and as for Monsters lurking about in the depths – probably come out at night to feed. Funny word “twitter”, never heard it used that way – I kinda figured it was someone who “twitched” a lot, uncomfortable like.h-m-m-m Great, Super Post – loved it. Take care

Either that, or I had something hanging out of my nose …
@Iris – I have put in a query about it – the month selection thing was working a couple of weeks ago. Will let you know!
@JallieDaddy – It’s amazing how well they turned out on an overcast day!
@Mary – Haha … I wonder if there ARE any hidden secrets lurking in the depths …
@Joan Elizabeth – It’s just green on the surface – I guess! And yes, that is our home on wheels!
@Sallie – I suspect our ‘normal’ and your ‘normal’ are very similar!

@Masshole Mommy – LOVE your name!! And it IS amazing – aren’t you glad you dropped by? This is one way to escape your winter!!!
