We enjoyed listening to the birds and the wind in the trees as we wound down after a day at work.  The car shuffle was quite long so we didn&#8217;t start walking until nearly 6.00 pm.  It was just starting to get dark as we walked into Lorinna to collect our car.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"726\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tim-strides-again-726x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tim-strides-again-726x1024.jpg 726w, https:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tim-strides-again-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tim-strides-again-768x1083.jpg 768w, https:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tim-strides-again-1089x1536.jpg 1089w, https:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tim-strides-again-1452x2048.jpg 1452w, https:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tim-strides-again-scaled.jpg 1816w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"517\" src=\"http:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/geese-1024x517.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/geese-1024x517.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/geese-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/geese-768x387.jpg 768w, https:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/geese-1536x775.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/geese.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A beautiful evening was topped off by a spectacular moonrise in front of Mount Roland as we headed home around the corner from the Mt Claude Lookout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"965\" src=\"http:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019-02-19_17-50-35-1024x965.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019-02-19_17-50-35-1024x965.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019-02-19_17-50-35-300x283.jpg 300w, https:\/\/it.johnmark.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019-02-19_17-50-35-768x724.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> A beautiful evening was topped off by a spectacular moonrise in front of Mount Roland as we headed home around the Mt Claude lookout corner.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 6: 19 February 2019 On Tuesday afternoon and evening, it took us less than 2 hours to wind our way gently up the Forth River to the hidden valley of Lorinna.
