This video has a slow start but I promise it's worth watching to the end!
After spending a few days at my mother's house to organise repairs to her car, I needed to ride my bike so headed to Bare Creek Bike Park in Belrose, around the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia. I stopped in to Kuringgai Wildflower Garden on the way for a quick look, but will have to return there later for a proper walk around.
After spending the night in a random sports ground near Belrose, I headed down to McCarr's Creek Reserve for a morning paddle on my inflatable kayak. As a bonus, found a beautiful waterfall in Browns Bay.
Following this I planned to have a short walk to Upper Gledhill Falls, but as I started to explore a trail running down the creek, this turned into something way larger. Deep in a canyon was an absolutely beautiful waterfall, that I assume is the Lower Gledhill Falls, but isn't marked on Google Maps. Very difficult to get down to as it involved a couple of rope climbs but totally worth it!
I also have some updates on my microwave situation in this video...bought a new LG inverter microwave and it looks to be quite promising.
Keep an ear open for some of my vanlifer tips, recommendations and general experiences throughout the video.
About me:
My name's Jason. I worked as Mechanical Engineer until mid 2023 when I was made redundant. Never one to miss an opportunity to have more fun in my life, I decided to move out of my house and started living full time in my self converted Ford Transit campervan. I pass my days mountain biking, bush walking and generally exploring the beautiful natural attractions that Australia has to offer.
