A blog about bushwalking in the aussie bush. Greenie's Gone Grose Valley - Multi Day walk - Days 1 and 2. It is a funny thing what adrenalin and a little bit of motivation can do. It can be great to see the result of those two coming together and what they can achieve. This post is not only about that but also my three day walk in the rugged but equally beautiful Grose Valley in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. Just a few hundred metres walk from the trackhead at the carpark is the Victoria Falls L...
