Quamby corner campground to Lake Parangana

Not as much rain as I thought but it did however come down in heavy patches overnight and heavy drizzle this morning so the ground was soaked, the day still overcast and looking like much of the same but if we were lucky some patches of sunshine to do some walks .
An hour after the waking the outlook was the same so a quick run to the well appointed toilets I grabbed some Dvd's from the laundry/common area to watch with a cuppa and brekky .
Jack Absolom hey not a bad choice fairly wise and well travelled old fella who Corinna's dad ( the old boy ) loved his camp oven cookbooks and travel videos .
Another video we watched was Glenn ridge and Ron moon in the Kimberly , gets the travel bug rolling along nicely for the mainland .
Having 240 volt power here was great as it meant nice quick and easy muffins in the toaster and real espresso coffee lol ah the simple things .
About 11 there was a break in the weather so we made a break for it and packed up in about 30 mins and drove up the bluff road to Liffey falls , while the road was narrow and windy we got all the way in with the van on and bikes on the roofrack without any passes by .
We left the van in a lower car park below the falls beside a absolute torrent of a river thanks to the last few days rain and drove only a few hundred metres more to the upper falls car park.
not many cars here but minutes after we stopped quite a few more travellers came in to do the walk and have lunch .
Wet and soggy around us but for the majority of the walk it was a gravel path leading ever downwards to the raging Liffey river below and over several waterfalls and long cascades .
Right to the bottom of the falls we walked capturing many great pictures of the flooded falls then trod back up the way we came to the car park area where we made some toasted sandwiches in the sheltered BBQ area and washed it down with cordial .
The drive out was uneven foul and we made our way to Deloraine yet again for some groceries to see out our tassie trip and a little fuel in case we did some side trips around cradle mountain and the walls of Jerusalem parks .
The road out into the mole creek area and into the upper Great Lake area was windy and of course still light rain persisted.
We got stuck behind yet another grey nomad and we wondered if he was going to the upper mole creek karst campground or with us to the lake?
Our questions were soon answered when he pulled up in from on the side and we offered assistance but all was good just a " call of nature lol" he said they were heading also to the lake if there was a ground to stay at ( and he was a local !) so the soon caught up and after a missed turn we both arrived at Lake Parangana and set about finding a not so soggy campsite .
We had a good out of the wind and elements campground and soon set up the camper and old mate soon came over to talk mostly about solar panels once I said where I worked ( couldn't help it ) yet another Norman so needless to say the mrs set the camper pretty much on her own while we talked turkey on power , solar caravans and such it turns out he builds a few campers himself to fit on flat bed its and light truck and judging by the look of his it's a pretty good effort.
a little ride on the treacly for dash and I to recon the area for some wood then we headed back for tea of chicken and veg risotto , yum.
The boys and I grabbed some wood still damp and made a fireplace and after much diesel soaked paper had the wet wood crackling I the heat which dried out some bigger logs where we enjoyed the warmth of the fire and the light to do our journals and the kids ate custard and fruit around it .
Already 10:15 must be time to put the amazing fire out since the light drizzle here hasn't had any effect and put myself to bed , ps loving the solitude and quiet here.
