Carly and Steve took us to to a couple of waterfalls about 20 minutes away from Ballina. The first was called Maron falls, and the second was called Dalwood falls. Zach, Steve, and I checked the depth beneath the falls, and decided to take the plunge. It was an absolutely beautiful trip into the Australian countryside, and I hope we're able to go back again for another visit. For those keeping track, unfortunately I was unable to find a platypus, but we did spot a handful of huge spiders at Dalwood. I managed to get a decent shot of the golden orb spider which was enormous, and apparently is extremely venomous and spins webs which are the material they make Kevlar vests out of.
