The customary scenic view on the drive there.
A creek.
The natural arch, purely formed by the continuous force of pounding water. Simply amazing.
The sunset at our campsite.
A camp is never complete without a campfire! Jono, our tour guide, gave us a few tips on building a pyramind structure and sent us scurrying all over the place looking for firewood. Our hard work:
And the end result: a blazing storm of a fire!
The campsite had only one compost toilet which a) had no door, b) faced the rest of the wilderness and c) was filled to the brim with soiled tissue. When i tried to turn the thing that resembles a tap (i won't go so far as to call it a tap), a huge spider came winding up as well!
Where we slept, safe and away from spiders, beetles and goodness knows what else.
Remember how i was asking for ideas for my assignment? I got so desperate that i decided to make use of the trip since i was going on it already -- I went on a trek blindfolded. Was supposed to go on blindfold for the entire two days, but think i would have fallen off the cliff and died if i had done that. Here's poor me and my trusty guide bernie. 
Here's some cool pics by bernie:
It was raining the entire second day. We were trudging through endless mud tracks, swimming under waterfalls, and fending off attacking leeches all in that freezing cold weather. Drenched. Wet. Shivering.
Look at us. We're amidst the cloud!
The leeches love me to bits. I guess i can't help having really sweet blood. My battle scars:
That's all for now! Off to Byron Bay again with peiqi and the french!
