Family Walk to Liffey Falls

Last Saturday we took our kids on the Liffey Falls walk. This is a very short walk - 45 minutes return according to PWS - and a very smooth and easy track surface. I expected that our kids would probably take double that time, but I was very wrong. It seems that they're now through that stage of dawdling walking all the time, and they raced ahead and back multiple times and walked much faster than their Mum and I. I think the kids probably did the equivalent of the track length about 3 or 4 times.
Next time I think I'll take them on the longer track, which is about two or three times the length and somewhat rougher.
We had lunch (bought from Banjo's on the way) sitting on the gravel beach on the edge of the river a little downstream from the falls.
The kids thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, and that makes it even more enjoyable for us.
This is a warm up for the two overnight walks I have planned for them next month. Good thing too - I can see where one of the kid will need tape on her feet to avoid blisters if we'd walked much further. Their shoes are not ideal bushwalking footware, but they do the job.
