Today I took my son Alex on a walk along the Booroomba Rocks trail, inspired by Tara from IN THE TARATORY. It’s not a very long drive from our place but I don’t like the hot so we set out about 8:45 in hope of getting it done before we went to the movies this afternoon.
So quick trip over Tharwa Bridge then down Naas Road and then off on to Apollo Road toward Honeysuckle Creek
This sign is one to pay attention too, be aware it is a dirt road and in many places you might struggle to get two cars past each other especially when one of them is my Navara.
When you get to the car park look for the sign that points to Booroomba Rocks Walking Trail it says 30 Minutes which is different to the sign on the trail.
The importance of this sign is that it says 2.5 kms RETURN, so when your heart is breaking out of your chest cavity and your legs are feeling the burn and you wonder if you should push on to what I am told is a very worthwhile destination, remember it is return and if your iPhone app says you have travelled 1.8 klms which must be wrong (and if you zoom the trail there is a lot of lateral co-ordinate jumping off cliffs) then you might be near the top.
There is a seat a bit over half way up which Tara reported as particularly uncomfortable but for me it was the best thing ever I guess our need for it was very different.
Overall the walk is steep and I need to practice by maybe doing more stairs walks at work. I did not make it to the top but also did not feel like a previous walker and it would be nicer if they didn’t need to make the tree carry that message for ever
BTW the fit person in the Photos is my son Alex, my new trainer by the looks
Just so you know my goal is only to walk further than today which happened to be
