...On the weekend we went on a little road trip. I have all boys, so we have to do 'boy' stuff! No shopping and morning tea for me ha! I'm not complaining, I love the adventure!Above is a timelapse video of part of our day (it has sound). If it gets blocked (or you can't view …
We headed to the Yarrangobilly Caves which is part of the Kosciuszko National Park about 65 kms from Tumut and about 2 and half hrs drive from Wagga.
We stopped at Tumut on our way for pies, sausage rolls, chocolate milk and a big neenish tart (see my Instagram photos for that one!)…
It was freezing! About 6 degrees outside. The road was littered with snow but the day was gorgeous. Not a cloud in the sky. I had my camera ready and snapped about 100 photos.
It’s a tourist spot therefore there are guides and lots of people visiting. Even though it was freezing, there were quite a few people exploring the caves just like us. You could book tours, or do the self-guided ones. We opted for the self-guided as the tours were a bit too long for the kids. This cave took about 40 mins to get through. I have never seen anything so spectacular. There were paths, steps and sensor lights all the way through. The kids were in awe.
About 1.4kms (down a hill and a walking path) was a hot springs pool. We have bits of snow around us, but this pool is 27 degrees! The kids went swimming. No way was I stripping off haha! There were lots of crazy adults swimming too! Ok, so remember I just said 1.4km down a hill?? Yeah, well we had to get back up that hill. Ummmm fitness?? Where did you go? The little kid and I had to stop often. He wanted me to carry him, but I needed someone to carry me! I recommend you only visit the spring if you know what you’re in for when you have to walk back up!
Here I am all rugged up watching the kids swim. I have a swollen face and a black eye (see yesterday’s post) and was trying not to stand out!
Walking back up. I was huffing and puffing and had warmed up – off came the jacket and the scarf!
This is just gorgeous. The scenery was the best part of the day. We’re actually going to the snow this weekend – Falls Creek – so I’ll have some awesome photos to show you next week. Below is a little slideshow with some more photos. I took too many to put up at all once!
 Thanks for all your messages about my face! I took the little band-aids off and I have 5 neat little stitches. All good!
Have a great week. We’re in to week 2 of the school holidays and are surviving them so far!

Looks like a great adventure! I think I would struggle up that hill too! My boys have never seen snow…definitely something on out “to see” list:)

It now makes me to want to take my boys to a cave adventure. On another note, I got hit with a cricket ball a few years ago and the stares that I got with a black eye with hilarious! Mr B refused to walk with me as people would look from me to him several times trying to work out the ‘situation’ haha

I love your little videos, very clever. The caves look great, I wouldn’t have stripped off either as you do have to get out of that lovely warm spring and dress in the freezing cold air! Brrrr xToni

That looks like such a lovely day. I want to go there. Beats Ban-Ban Springs in Queensland where we used to go as kids. That’s for sure. Am glad the healing is healing up well. Mx
