Hiking with the Bats (No Joke)....

If Saturday wasn't filled with enough activities, Sunday made up for it....

Headed north to Tabmorine Mountain and went on the Curtis Falls hike.

I get that this is the rainforest and all but I kept hearing these birds and they were SO loud and I was thinking shut up--I'm having a hard time enjoying my beautiful hike.  It was so overwhelming that I stopped, looked up and I was like OMG....those aren't birds I hear they are BATS...no friggen joke.  They look like little pods up there, but they are actually bats and they were flying around and being all loud.  I tried to take this video (it doesn't do them any justice, but you can at least get an idea of the sound).  Cool, huh?!

Then went on the Skywalk where I got to walk out on this platform and be higher up in the rainforest.  It was of course beautiful!  

Asked someone that worked at the Skywalk about these big white trees and how they shed their bark. It was very interesting to learn that this is one of their survival mechanisms and that they shed their bark yearly.  

Next up....the glow worm cave.  Was't able to take pictures inside so instead I took this fun picture for you!  Glow worms are fascinating.  The females only live for 48 hours and 30 of those hours are spent mating.  They lay 150-200 eggs and then die.  What a life - ugh!

Take a close look at this PYTHON in the tree.  It had just eaten a possum and was digesting it right above our heads.  If you zoom in you can see the part at the bottom is large (where the rodent is).  How cool is that?!?!

Such a fun weekend Down Under!
