We had an amazing tour guide -- our friend Max's dad, Bob. He met us at the train station in Epping and showed us all the hot spots of this beautiful place. I had expected something more like mountain ranges in which tourists can drive around in the valley and see up to the peaks and if they're very adventuresome, can hike to the top of a mountain to get the reward of an awesome view. But this was very reminiscent of the Grand Canyon -- but green and not nearly as deep. Bob told us some great stories about this area -- many which concerned our buddy, Max. Remind me not to go bushwalking with you, Max! Bob, thank you so much for a fabulous day and thank you, Helen, for the delicious dinner!

| Wentworth Falls -- thanks to all the rain, the falls (and there are oodles of them in this National Park) were really spectacular. |

| The "train" was actually less like a train and more like a roller coaster car with a roof. The track used to carry coal up from the valley. Nowadays it's for tourists who don't feel like climbing back up --and that was the mood we were in at the time. It was an interesting experience -- kind of like going reverse up the biggest hill on the roller coaster. |
