           A “BEAUTIFUL” DAY
In typical Ian fashion, I had ideas where I might go but left it till the morning before I was convinced it would be Barren Ground.  Despite its unattractive name there was a promise of wildflowers.  I’d bypassed it on a previous trip but its curious name lured me in.
I’d zig-zagged up the Jamberoo Mountain Road the day before but I still managed to marginally overshoot the turn off.  Alighting at the carpark I could see I wouldn’t be alone, but you certainly wouldn’t call it crowded.
I chose the Griffith Trail, apparently it’s rated number #30 on N.S.W. top 60 day walks.  Tasmania really started something all those years ago when they came out with their top 60 brochure, stealing a march on other states.  I was so pleased when I cracked 40 of them but N.S.W.’s had escaped me then and continues to do so.  I have no idea where the rating on the sign came from.
The trail has a feature, a natural stone bridge.  That conjured up all sorts of images in my brain but I wondered if the 8kms would push my dodgy knees to the limit.  Nothing ventured…….
There was an expectation of wildflowers.  It had said on sites that I’d checked that now was a prime time.  They weren’t immediately apparent but when I came across the first batch it was merely a prelude.  Soon they were in abundance, at times the best displays I’d ever seen.  Violet, yellow and white were in profusion, scattered all along the edge of the track.

Absolutely beautiful home set right in the trees. Well thought out - with all the amenities you could need, all in an eco friendly way. A gorgeous spot to relax on the balcony and listen to the birds. Plenty of space for 4 without feeling like you’re on top of each other. Can’t recommend this stay enough - we’ll certainly be back!

We had a very relaxing stay at Lyrebird House. It’s absolutely blissful to wake up to the birds singing and the sounds of the rainforest. It was peaceful and quiet. There was a lovely outdoor deck to eat outside and the BBQ was connected to the mains so we didn’t have to mess around with gas bottles. We appreciated the water supplied. The only thing we were missing was a toaster, but this was our first off the grid experience, so maybe it’s not eco friendly? Apart from that we enjoyed our stay.

Secluded oasis set in rainforest

Lyrebird House was gorgeous! The photos are true to life, giving an accurate impression of the property. It was a short drive off the highway (approx 15 mins)and very easy to locate. Once we had checked in, we felt we were a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The property contained everything we needed for a weekend escape and the off-grid nature did not in any way inhibit our stay. I loved the stylish decor with lots of subtle decorator touches that made it feel luxurious and homey. Also, spotlessly clean!The large deck was a great spot to sit with a morning coffee or late afternoon drink. The area offers lots of places to visit within a short drive - we especially enjoyed exploring Berry (approx 15 mins away) with its boutique shops and fabulous restaurants. Thank you to the hosts. We loved our stay at Lyrebird House and will definitely be back!!
