    Dolphin Point

    15 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Another nice view. The interesting thing is that the rocks are forming a huge flat pavement. The light is quite good for a photograph.

    Looking over Dolphin Point Beach

    15 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    From this vantage one can see more of the interesting flat rocky feature. There is a very large flat area just out from this point.

    Burril Beach

    15 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Down closer to the flat rock area. The beach looks nice for a visit.

    South Pacific Heathland Reserve.

    15 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    This reserve runs along the cliff top of Ulladulla and is managed by trust. The six trustees of the award winning area are all women. Much work has been done on the 14 hectare reserve to ensure the 200 species of flora and 90 species of birds have a protected area. Some of those species are listed as rare and endangered.

    At present the easy walk out to the lookout area will yield many interesting finds for the observant visitor. We saw quite a few birds and many flowers. There were several kinds of fungus including one that had lived on a banksia until there had been a fire. Although quite blackened its form could still be seen. Whether it was still alive I could not be sure.

    Some of the pretty flowers were very small but the banksia were often huge. These seem popular with the honey eating species of birds. I suspect many feast on insects that are there for the sweet nectar.

    Although we were told dolphins are often seen from the lookout, there were none today. One lookout is accessible by wheelchair.

    Rennys Beach lookout

    15 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    A short walk in via the reserve and there are another view of the coast. The sun is filtering through clouds projecting light on to the beach. The walk in was a delightful progression of pretty flowers and impressive banksia.Читать далее

    Wardens Head Lighthouse

    15 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Another interesting spot. We came to check out the lighthouse then found an interesting walk back along the edge. Not far in a lookout with a good view of the coast and the lighthouse. There were quite a few birds and trees and plants flowering.Читать далее

    Bendeela Camp, Kangaroo Valley

    15 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    We arrived here a bit later in the day. Not long after we were set up we noticed a wombat feeding about 30m away. He seemed quite unconcerned about us. A random peewee was not happy though and was trying to get the wombat to move on. Wombat just ignored Mr peewee.

    There are a few kangaroos so far but I suspect later they might get closer for the short grass. The wombats have been in the area we are camped. I can see their scat all around.

    There are birds aplenty. Common mynahs, rosellas, herons and a few small birds moving way to fast to see what they were.

    Two kangaroos have come quite close. One with a Joey that is old enough to nibble a bit of succulent Gras from the safety of mothers pouch. As she hops around he keeps nibbling grass.

    Corridor of Oaks

    16 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    An oak tree has been planted here as a memorial for each Australian prime minister. The area is very tidy and well worth dropping in for a while. There is a nice park across the road for a picnic.

    The Bourbon, Kings Cross.

    20 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Once this place had different kind of reputation. Today quite different and upmarket. During daytime the other side of Kings Cross is not obvious. It is said that unless you have business here it is best avoided at night.Читать далее

    Chinese Dumplings and Beer

    20 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    This is a rather unusual place. The food is great and if you wish can be washed down with beer. The restruant is very small with the eating area up the stairs on a small mezzanine. We had about 8 different dumplings with Chinese tea. This footprint is just around the corner from the restaurant.Читать далее

    St Andrews

    20 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    This is a grand old church. As massive as any I have seen with so much decoration. There is an interesting addition of dozens of speakers and TV screens so any place inside can see and hear the services. The task of keeping these old buildings in good repair is enormous.Читать далее

    Manly, NSW

    20 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Manly in the late afternoon. There are places here to cater just about any kind of eating you would prefer. Nearby was The Hold where available space is decorated in a nautical theme. Vegans are well catered with every meal being available with a vegan option.Читать далее

    Manly Beach

    20 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Another iconic place. We were here late so not many people around. On the weekends on a nice day it would be quite different.

    Breakfast at Curl Curl Beach

    21 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌧 20 °C

    Breakfast here at the Curly Cafe was quite enjoyable. It would have been nice it the weather had not been so rough and overcast. Then we could have enjoyed the deck area. There is a decent Olympic length wave pool that was getting plenty of water flooding in this morning.Читать далее

    Circular Quay and the Manly Ferry

    21 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌧 19 °C

    A trip on the Ferry is often nothing to talk about. Today was different. A huge swell in the outer reaches of the harbour tossed the large ferry around like a rubber duck in a bathtub full of toddlers. At times there was just a view of the hide trough between the waves. Other times just sky. We were asked to stay seated and only as the ferry turned back towards Circular Quay was it OK to get up and take some photos.

    There were the usual photos to be snapped but this time there was a huge cruise ship tied up near the ferry terminal. So big it can not pass under the bridge that was originally built so high nobody ever expected that it would prevent any ship passing. There are now even larger ships at sea.

    Oldest church in Australia (Ebenezer)

    21 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌧 18 °C

    A short drive from where we camped is the oldest church in Australia. We learned though that this was only by a very short time because the other church being built elsewhere kept having the Holy Dollar that was laid with the foundation stolen. Eventually the dollar was successfully laid with the foundation and work proceeded. Ebenezer may not have been used first for regular services.

    These stories would be hard to validate so only the date on the laying of the foundation stone would be accurately known. There were no selfies of the stone being laid of FacePaper or anything like that. The stone Mason would have engraved the information he was given.

    Ebenezer church is a Uniting Church but probably was a Presbyterian denomination before that. From memory some churches did unite and some decided against.

    The church and grounds are very well maintained as is the graves on the site. Many have been refurbished and new plaques installed. This would have been an important point in the local community when it was built. Worship, fellowship and meeting partners would have been all part of this churches history.

    I would expect that things like dance halls would have come quite a bit later. Perhaps there was already a stage coach stop or a tavern.

    The Butterfly Farm and Indie Karts

    22 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    This spot was our base for two nights in and one night visiting people at Sydney. Less mentioned about public transport the better. The only highlight there was the ferry ride.

    This park is actually primarily setup for a ski club. They do take in some grey nomads for a few nights in the van park, but it is often full with ski people and the groups that come go kart racing.

    Because it is a quiet time we were allowed to set up in a beautiful spot right near the barbeeque area. Glorious views over the river and sunrises that were a sheer delight to see. We will definitely pick a quiet time and return here.

    Wamberal Beach

    22 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    Seagulls, surf and sand. Quite a nice spot but you would need to be game to take on the surf here. The wind has been fairly strong for a while now so we are seeing larger waves than would be usual. There were quite a few seagulls here gliding along and landing as a wave receded and grabbed some interesting morsel to eat.Читать далее

    Chromarty Hill Lookout, Wyrrabalong NP.

    22 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    This one was a bit of a steep narrow drive that was marginal for visiting with a van in tow. We had good views along the coast and enjoyed the short walk up from the parking area. There is a substantial walk from here along the coast but we did not have time.Читать далее

    Nobbys Lighthouse

    23 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Newcastle is the city of no free parking. Every single place one could park requires payment. We drove around and discovered quite a few interesting sights. With no place to park we just kept moving.

    Coopernook, NSW

    25 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Said to be an aboriginal word that means bend in the river. Here we have a tidal river that can still suffer from serious flooding. The volume of water flowing from a flood can mean wet feet for the people at the Pub and some living nearby.

    The bridge across the river was here but the only part left now is the supports still in place on the northern side. Now a newer and higher bridge is down the river a bit and the highway bypasses a lovely small town. The only traffic is locals and a few travellers who know about the place.

    There is a nice park and facilities for boating. The Pub is popular with quite busy sessions. A good place to drop in for a great meal and a drink to wash it down. Travellers who are customers of the hotel are welcomed and free to spend the night in the grounds. RVs need to be self contained and must not unhitch.

    Flats and Sharps at Upper Lansdowne

    25 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Sometimes as a traveller, you can happen to be in the right place at the right time. If you are retired it is easier to be where you want to be.

    This evening the place was Upper Lansdowne Memorial Hall and the players were Flats and Sharps. An excellent bluegrass band that kept the feet tapping and the hands clapping for nearly two hours. Thanks guys, and thanks to the locals who let us know they would be there.

    If you are travelling in the area it is worth driving out to view some very nice country. There is a good freedom camping area in the Coopernook state forest.

    Cattai Wetlands, Coopernook

    26 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    These wetlands are a spectacular project recovering from years of grazing and clearing. The walks are very easy and there is quite a lot to see. Many species of birds are found her as well as a healthy population of frogs and reptiles.

    Since our visit was on a dull and light rainy day we were not able to see as many birds. We did hear quite a few though. This spot is on our return to list.

    As we checked out the info board on the way in there was a notice proclaiming numerous mosquitos. That was misleading. With several layers of deet spray we were still menaced by thousands of the hungry buggers. Next visit will be in winter.

    Vincent's Lookout

    29 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    If you get to the Coopernook area, it is well worth the effort of driving up to Vincent lookout. Sorry no caravans or dodgy cars. It's a dirt road and the last bit is very steep. Once at the top you can walk down to the top of the cliff and have a spectacular view towards Taree. Don't get too close to the edge though. It's a long way down with nothing to stop you.

    Back up the top is a more relaxed view. The tower and building seems to have been built a long time ago. This is obviously a good spot for communications, only made better by one of the tallest towers you can imagine. No wonder we had good phone service in the forest.

    Wingham Memorial Town Hall

    29 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    While at Coopernook we took a drive to Wingham. The town hall just screamed, "TAKE A PHOTO"! It is also the memorial hall.
