    👍🏻 The most amazing hike and fabulous views ⛰️
    👎🏻 The aches after the hike 😬

    Today was the reason we headed to this area, to hike the Breadknife and Grand High Tops trail in the Warrumbungle National Park 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏼.
    OMG it was amazing, every turn brought a new fantastic view ⛰️.
    The walk to the summit and Lugh’s Throne was just up, up and up at 965m with 1022 steps
    We continued on to complete the High Tops Circuit walk at a total of 14km and 749m elevation
    During the walk we saw 5 goats 🐐 , 1 snake 🐍 and lots of lizards 🦎

    Next stop was the Siding Spring Observatory at 1113m, home to more than 45 telescopes including Australia’s largest optical telescope 🔭
    We learnt more about the stars and what is out ‘there’ and then journeyed through the solar system on the worlds largest solar system drive from the observatory taking in Mercury, Venus, Earth 🌏 …..

    Returning home we jumped into the pool to cool down and then headed to the pub for a well earned dinner 🍽️
