Pindar Cave is in the Brisbane Water National Park. As I was approaching the cave I could hear water dripping but not see the cave due to the dense bush, all of a sudden there it was in front of me, an immense cave formed from the overhanging sandstone. My photos don't convey the enormity of this cave.
After having a look around the cave I continued on to Pindar Falls. I couldn't find a way to the bottom of the falls. All I could see here was the stream disappearing over the top of a cliff.
I sighted some Glossy Black Cockatoos, these cockys are spectacular with the red bands on their wing and tail feathers, and they are not very common.
The path went through dense scrubby bush with many kilometres of brushing against the foliage. I was not surprised to find a tick trying extract blood from my leg later that evening.
