Picnic Downunder

You enter a large open clearing with a couple of picnic tables in the middle. The tables are currently empty, except for the expected bird droppings usually found on such things.

To one side of the tables a stone barbecue with a black and burnt metal plate and a pile of nicely chopped wood.. Judging by the amount of grease on the metal plate, it loots like it has had a lot of use sometime in the recent past.

A strange laughter comes from the trees all around. Looking up you spot a half a dozen or so large tawny colored birds sitting in the trees around the clearing, all calling at the top of their voices, a funny kind of laughing call. The air has also become much warmer with a faint small of eucalypt.

The trees also looks to be much more open compared to other parts of the forest and high up in the fork of one of the trees you spot what looks like a teddy bear, apparentally asleep.

You have the strange feeling that you are somewhere down-under!

The clearing has paths leading north-east and west and a particularly well used trail south.

You can..
[South] Go South, down the well used trail
[East] Take the Eastern Trail
[North-West] Try the North Western trail
