One of the many new adventures that we've enjoyed since being here is hiking. Australia has heaps of terrain waiting to be discovered by hikers. And while Jeff and I aren't clearing walking paths, we have endured some challenging hikes, that I'm still sore from, 4 weeks later. Our first hike was through Springbrook National Park. We went with our friends Craig and Nick.
Springbrook was a walk in the park (no pun intended) in comparison to our next hike... Mt. Warning, which should be called, Mt. Impossible/ Mt. You're Going to be Sore for 4 Weeks after this. Mt. Warning was quite possibly the most challenging thing I've ever done (me, dramatic... never). It was a 10k hike in total, with the last 850 meters a vertical climb, pulling yourself up by a rope. Thankfully I have extreme upper body strength (to be read with sarcasm and drama), so these 850 meters were nothing but fun. Who doesn't love rope climbing? This girl. Either way, we were successful and made it to the top! Got a couple pictures before the cloud cover moved in.

Very sincere smiles...
Half-way to the top... 
At the top, finally, and the clouds met us there
So these next two pictures aren't mine... but I had to provide evidence of the 850 meter vertical climb to the top
