Hazelbrook,
Blue Mountains National Park.
Mid Blue Mountains bushwalks/waterfalls.
The waterfalls in the mid-Blue Mountains don’t receive as much publicity as the better known waterfalls in the upper Blue Mountains.
Certainly, the waterfalls around Katoomba, Blackheath & Wentworth Falls are larger & more spectacular.
Also, these areas are home to awe-inspiring views, imposing clifflines, and majestic valleys like The Jamison & the Grose Valleys.
The mid mountains landscape is more intimate, but there are some hidden gems to be found around the rainforests of Lawson & Hazelbrook.
Note: If you’re a keen photographer you should visit these waterfalls after decent rain.
Warning: some of these are rough tracks with slippery rocks so watch your footing & wear decent walking shoes or boots.
Hazelbrook is home to the well-known & much photographed Terrace Falls on the south side of the township.
The Terrace Falls reserve is a short walk of a few kms through lovely rainforest & contains three waterfalls.
It’s possible to make this into a more interesting circuit walk by turning left at the junction with Bedford Creek.
From there a short walk brings you to Bedford Pool - here you turn left & follow an un-named creek up a gully.
This track contains a few cascades and brings you to Pyramid Falls & an ‘orphan’ pagoda at the head of the gully.
It’s quite unusual to find rock pagodas in this area. From here you follow one of a couple of fire-trails back to where you started from.
For experienced walkers only:
The Terrace Falls track can be combined with the South Lawson waterfall walk to provide a feast of waterfalls.
Turn right at the bottom of the Terrace Falls track, follow Bedford Creek to Willawong Pool, then turn right into Lawson Creek.
From there its approx. a 1.5km bush-bash to reach the Sth Lawson reserve with lots of rock-hopping involved & creek crossings.
Allow half a day for this circuit (or a full day if you’re a serious photographer).
Note: There is a fire-trail that can be used to combine these two walks, but its quite boring walking in my opinion, though much quicker.
The South Lawson waterfall reserve is an easy 3km walk that contains four waterfalls & takes you through some varied vegetation.
This reserve features: Junction, Cataract, Adelina & Federal Falls.
On the north side of Lawson is the pretty Dante’s Glen, Lucy’s Glen, & Empire Pass tracks which are among the best walks in this area.
Dante’s Glen has a certain ambience to it with lovely rainforest & is home to three waterfalls including Fairy Falls.
It’s possible to combine Dante’s Glen with Empire Pass to make a great circuit walk of around 7-8kms, through a quite pristine area.
Northern Hazelbrook has a short walk of a couple of kms that features six waterfalls including Oaklands, Burgess & Horseshoe Falls.
This track runs between Oaklands Rd & Winbourne Rd. Along the way is a rough overgrown track that leads to an amphitheatre area.
So around 20 waterfalls can found in several bushwalks within a few kms drive of each other in the Hazlebrook-Lawson area.
Here you’ll find lovely patches of rainforest, impressive trees, wildflowers, colourful fungi, glow-worms, lizards, & yabbies. Enjoy!
She tried to follow me around, but there was still too much snow for her ^_^

De Frauenkirche in Dresden is een Evangelisch-Lutherse kerk in hoogbarokke stijl die tussen 1726 en 1743 werd gebouwd. De kerk werd ontworpen door de Dresdener architect Georg Bähr (1666-1738). Volgens de lutheraanse liturgie moesten altaar, doopvont en preekstoel voor alle gelovigen zichtbaar zijn. Daarom koos Bähr niet voor een basilicale, langwerpige vorm, maar voor een centraalbouw. De kerk werd rond gebouwd, de kerkgangers zaten op balkons boven elkaar. De koepel was vanuit alle delen van de stad Dresden te zien.
In de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd de kerk tijdens een luchtaanval in de nacht van 13 op 14 februari 1945 verwoest. Bij deze geallieerde aanval met brandbommen werd een groot deel van Dresden verwoest en kwamen ruim 35.000 burgers om het leven. De stad was in die tijd overvol met vluchtelingen. Ten tijd van de DDR bleef de ruďne van de kerk als een permanente herinnering aan de verschrikkingen van de oorlog staan.
Na de Wende begon men in 1994 met de wederopbouw. Door ondersteuning van burgers, steden en landen werd het mogelijk gemaakt dat de kerk op 30 oktober 2005 zijn deuren weer heeft kunnen openen. De restauratie heeft naar schattingen 130 miljoen euro gekost.
Symbool van verzoening
"Laat deze kerk, die zo lang een symbool van de verwoesting van de stad is geweest, nu een symbool van verzoening tussen Groot-Brittannië en Duitsland worden", schreef de Britse ambassadeur in Duitsland, Peter Torry, in de Süddeutsche Zeitung. 59 Jaar na het geallieerde bombardement werd door de zoon van een piloot, die aan het bombardement deelnam, een gulden kruis vervaardigd. Op 23 juni 2004 werd dit kruis, samen met de koepel, op de kerk gehesen.
The Frauenkirche Church in Dresden is an evangelic-Lutheran
(protestant) built between 1726 and 1743 in Baroque style.
It was designed by the Dresden architect Georg Bähr
(1666-1738). According to Lutheran liturgy, altar and
pulpit have to be visible for all at all times. For that
reason Bähr did not opt for an oblong shape but rather for
a centralized building. He gave the church a circular shape,
the visitors sat on balconies on various levels. The dome
was visible from all parts of the city.
In the 2nd World War the church was destroyed in an air
raid in the night betwen February 13 and 14. During this
attack by the allied forces a large part of Dresden was
destroyed with fire bombs, and over 35.000 civilians died.
The city hosted many refugees at the time. In the DDR era
the ruined church was left as it was as a reminder of the
horrors of warfare.
After the demise of Communism, in 1994 the reconstruction
was started. Thanks to support from citizens, cities and
countries the church could reopen its doors on October 30,
2005. It is estimated that the reconstruction cost 130
millions of euros.
Symbol of reconciliation
"Let this church, that had been a symbol of the destruction
of the city for so many years, now become a symbol of
reconciliation between the UK and Germany", thus wrote the
British ambassador in Germany, Peter Torry, in the
Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper. 59 Years after the allied
bombing, a gold cross was made by the son of one of the
pilots of the air raid. On june 23, 2004, this cross was
placed on top of the church, along with the Dome.
This series is proving quite popular amongst my ‘followers’, so I’m posting a few more images. Hope you like!!

For whatever reason, Instagram has stopped letting us automatically upload to Flickr. It's a shame because the upload functionality of the official Flickr app really bites!

I am dedicating this photo to my friend Christina. As a matter of fact, I'm shamelessly stealing her processing technique. I took this shot the same night that she took her great, and much superior shot. : )

Please check out her great work.
I'm posting and running. My momma is staying here tonight so I'm going to go try to see if I can talk her into a game of high stakes Yahtzee. We'll see how much cash she brought with her. : )
I hope that everyone had a perfect Christmas day. : ) I plan on visiting everyone's photostream tomorrow. I have some gamin' to do. : )
