Cathai & Mitchel National Park
I walked through both parks and along the River Windsor and some small lakes.
Blackheath Mount Tomah – Windsor – Cathai

Blackheath Mount Tomah - Windsor - Cathai
I left not to early, saying goodbye was not easy for me, but travelling is saying good day and good bye. Taking the back road to Mt. Victoria, Bell and then the Botanical Garden on Mt. Tomah. I had one nice guided tour and a light lunch in the restaurant with a great view over the valley.
No pictures, because no sunlight.
I made my way to Windsor, found some food shopping there and then I drove out to the piece of land where Rowan lives with his parents in a community.
It's a 120 year old shag with rough hacked iron bark timber. Open Fireplace, ancient too.
Some alpacas, ducks, 5 dogs ...

Hawkesbury Townships – Windsor
A little over an hour by road or train, 55 km north west of Sydney, you’ll find the historic Windsor township. Set on a high bank of the magnificent Hawkesbury River, at the foot of the Blue Mountains and surrounded by beautiful National Parks.
The rich Hawkesbury Valley was discovered in July 1789 by Governor Arthur Phillip while searching for fertile farmland to grow food for the struggling Sydney settlement. He further explored the area by land in April 1791. In 1794 Lieutenant Governor Francis Grose made land grants of 30 acres each to 22 settlers.
In 1810 Governor Lachlan Macquarie established the township of Windsor, which was previously known as Green Hills. Windsor as a river port became the lifeline of the early Sydney settlement as the colony’s granary.
