Heathcote, Karloo Pool, Waterfall & return via Lake Ekersly August 2019

I did this run the day after a dump of snow in the Blue Mountains. I had no desire to go anywhere cold, it turned out a magnificent day for a run in the Royal and Heathcote National Parks. My route passed by several rock pools, these pools in warmer times would have people swimming in them, I didn't meet a sole while in the bush, so close to Sydney. Lots of birds in the banksias and a couple of wallabies where the only wildlife I encountered. This was my last long run before the annual Bilpin Bush Run.
