more tracks, toohey forest

a rather easy navigation through the Brisbanian public transport system, i was at the edge of toohey forest. too hungry for nature and too thirsty for endorphin, my badly itching legs were difficult to constrain from breaking into a run towards the eucalyptus clad land. with the impatience and without a map in hand, the entrance i found was therefore an unconventional one.

the sign post at the entrance

magnificent eucalyptus gum trees

to quench the hunger and thirst, the GPS inside me naturally guided my feet towards a rocky climb. having to constantly wipe cobwebs off my face were telling me that the track i took was one that is less used by others :)

the lookouts at the end of the climb brought a glimpse of the distant brisbane city.

the descend then took me to a more established trail with posts for self guided walks and milestones marking the mileages are in place.

someone's dwelling is obviously within the range of the map...

so it was time for a paced walk then!

through the woods of different ages and densities~

and accompanied by their more colourful and delicate companions~

bumble bee working hard~

one wonders if these patterns on the silver trunk of gum trees are trails of vermins? ^^

the mass of protoplasm and hydroxyapatite which forms me emerged from the forest two stops down the road of the stop i got off the bus earlier. a two and a half hrs' walk in total :)

you know when i write like this, is when i'm picking up paperbacks and hardcovers again ^^ 果然是三日不读书则面目可憎啊~ 呵呵。the sequence of robin hobb's bingtown series was borrowed from the Garden City Library on LL's card. Been craving for it as it wasn't in any library in Gothenburg! ^^
