Just a short, little blogget today. I'm a bit of hiker. Dictionary.com defines 'hiking' as 'to move up or rise, as out of place or position (often followed by up), and that pretty sums up my life when I go hiking in Namadgi National Park, my favourite national park in the Australian Capital Territory region. My favourite trek doers a lot of up, up for seven kilometres and then you have to come back down again.
On one of my recent treks, I popped into the Namadji Visitor Centre om the way back down, because I wanted to ask the ranger on duty about a big black cat that I had seen a few months ago. The visitor's centre is home to Spencer the python. I hadn't seen him for a while, so I said G'day to him as he was basking in the late afternoon winter sun and then noticed a film crew in the corner. It turned out to be the BBC filming, about Australian wildlife presumably.
The ranger said they were doing a story on the black and white dingoes in Namadji. I did not know that black and white dingoes were a thing, so I might watch their special when in comes on the teev!
Bit of a boring, vamilla post today but, oh well, that's lyf.
