"Land where cloud lies over Mountains" (05/08/04)

Our great Aussie outdoor adventures continued in the Eungella National Park in Queensland. In the Aboriginal language Eungella, or "Doon-gell-a", supposedly means "land where cloud lies over mountains" -- probably a fitting description, though on the day we visited the park it was a beautiful sunny day with nary a cloud in the sky. Our hikes through the park afforded us contact with many wonderous creatures including an echidna, certainly a highlight of our hikes in Aussie land.
