Walking through Girraween National Park is like walking through a garden of carefully placed sculptures, giant granite boulders balance precariously on top of each other, their surfaces covered with entire ecosystems of soft green and grey lichens. Trees over many years have twisted their way between the gaps to emerge triumphantly, now almost part of the rocks themselves. Girraween is a place of childhood camping trips spent climbing over these rocks making games of their forts. We have returned many times over the years, now with our own children and even though the bush land changes scarred by drought and fires these boulders are a constant, old friends we recognise and who hold precious memories of times past and loved ones lost.
