The smell of campfire smoke greeted us as we arrived in the volcanic crater of Mt Franklin. Tents were dotted around the small camping area, with a beautiful backdrop of Conifers.
We set off on the uphill track, as the fragrance in the air changed to the clean, fresh scent of pine needles.

The terrain varied from wooden steps, to dusty tracks, to grassy roads used by mountain bikes and bushwalkers alike.
We caught glimpses of mountains through the trees as we climbed...
We heard a few birdcalls, but only saw a couple of Kookaburras and no other wildlife apart from this bug.
There were plenty of wildflowers around the place, looking all pretty - but I did like this itty bitty baby pinecone even more...
