Trying to get to Mount Banda Banda

I the hills behind Kempsey at the altitude of 1260m is the grand peak of Mount Banda Banda.
It beckons.

But getting to it is another matter altogether.

It is a lovely drive of a couple of hours up through the foothills to a patch of rainforest in the headwaters of the Wilson River.
There is a picnic area and some little walks through the rainforest to a waterfall.


Massive trees abound, some of them have fallen and make a nursery for other plants to grow on.
If you look closely you can see G at the end of this fallen giant -


Had we taken our swimmers this would have been a great spot to cool off.





Anyway, that's about as far as we got as the road towards Mount Banda Banda was blocked off and entailed a loooooong drive to get around.
Another time G went by himself and took his bike to ride to the mountain, but there were too many fallen trees.
Maybe another time we'll go and camp up in a camping area near there, in Werrikimbee National Park I think and do a bit more exploring.
