Long Weekend part two

In the bush about 15K's from Kilkivan is the remains of an old Copper Smelter with a fairly intact Chimney...

I drove into Kilkivan and grabbed a pic of the old loading crane at the Railway Station...

Leaving Kilkivan i followed a sign out to Mudlo National park and explored a bit out the other side in grazing country...

coming back into the park i did a climb up to Pearsons Lookout but its too overgrown to see much, lots of Grasshoppers around though...

I headed back towards Gympie and stopped off at Eaglest Nest Lookout ...
