Beacon Rock and Hardy and Rodney Falls





Hey guys.


We had a great day yesterday. Weather was really good so we headed east into the gorge and climbed the 848ft Beacon Rock. This Rock is the core of an ancient volcano which was not washed away by the Bretz floods - how the gorge was formed. It's a steep climb but from the top you get 360degree views of the gorge.






We then crossed over to the gorge cliffs and walked up to two waterfalls (Rodney and Hardy) which were about a two mile hike from the car.





















And of course, the only way to end a hard day of walking...




...a 22oz cold beer!

Love liz (and Ed)

  1. looks like you had so much beer that Ed disappeared off the edge of the frame (Or perhaps it's just my rubbish laptop).

    Looks impressive, the whole area sounds like a decent geography lesson.

  2. Take it there was an information board at the view point-hope there is a bench to sit on as well.
    Views look great even the White legs!
