Tambour National Park


Tambour National Park, originally uploaded by metajeff.

January 1, 2007: A little hike along a path in the Tambour National Park, Queensland, Australia. Looks impressive, but I was passed by small children and their grandmothers, all wearing flip-flops (called "thongs" in Australia-speak).

This is part of the "Great Dividing Range" that runs parallel to the coast about 100kms inland. These steep mountains separate the dry, arid coast from the dry, arid interior. The towns in these mountains are beautiful, with cooler temperatures and fantastic views of Surfer's Paradise.
