Bunya Mountains, Day Two: Settling In

As the differences between suburban life and this mountain getaway are so vast, we are forced to spend a portion of every morning and afternoon exploring our side of the mountain and the views it has to offer. The immediate landscape constantly changes altitude as we travel up and down the greenest of green hills, following the road lined by cabin-like houses. Every few metres we stop to take in the scenery around us as well as the views beyond our mountain site.

The morning air is crisp and almost icy; a surreal change from our usual summer life. The seemingly glacial air performs the perfect task of highlighting the morning shades and colours, making our early stroll all the more worthwhile. An image this good could be found in few other places and its ability to sincerely wake one from morning grogginess is even more unique.

Evening strolls are a complete other situation; the crisp, vibrant colours of the morning are replaces with the smokey hues of an approaching twilight. The sharpness of the air is reversed as the dull breeze eases us into the night.
