Our Track

This is the first view of Wallaby Scrub our visitors encounter - the front gate.

As we head out 'Nine Gates' track, this is our first open view. The road is not as smooth as it looks!

I always remember the night John was driving the van home from town and he let Josiah out at Bunny Flat to chase rabbits. Josiah darted all over the paddock, diving after the bunnies, and all that in bare feet. It was one of the funniest sights I'd seen for a long time. John even went off the track so Josiah could see by the beam of the headlights. There we were, bouncing all over this paddock, John in fits of laughter, the other children yelling out sightings of bunnies, and me, hanging on 'for my life'.

This is affectionately known as Bullrush Dam. It's always full of water, and is the only place I've seen feral pigs. The road goes over the dam wall and down into a little, wet gully (where the van will bottom out if I don't take the right track).

Puddle Gate - Getting more so after every rainfall.

Here's Josiah, the gate keeper for the day.

And finally, the little bridge that leads us out to the main road. Up to the right of this bridge is a paddock full of Shetland Ponies and Miniature Horses (this is the part of the journey Elsie likes best).

So, that's a snapshot of the track into Wallaby Scrub. It's the scenic route, that's for sure.
