Ku-ring-gai Chase national pk - 3rd Jan

After a run across the Sydney harbour bridge this morning we had some breakfast and then walked short distance to the meeting point for our tour today.

Our tour is a visit of Ku-ring-gai Chase national park, about an hour north of Sydney.

We met with our guide, Sabina, and two other passengers and we drove the short distance to the national park. About 45 minutes into the journey we entered the national park. We parked up and then had a walk through the national park. The noise of the cicada beetles when we got out of the car was amazing. Whilst the walk wasn't very long, there were plenty of steps up and down.

We walked through areas where we saw aboriginal carvings and paintings. We saw great views over the bay towards Palm Beach where Home and Away was filmed. We stopped for a snack of orange and protein ball (odd I know). Eventually after about 2 hours we ended up at a beach area where we stopped for lunch that our guide had brought with her - vegetable sticks, cheese and crackers.

I had a swim before we ate and although the water was cold it was refreshing!

We spent around 3/4 hour at the beach then had to ascend hundreds of steps up and back to where the van was parked. From here we drive a short distance and parked up to take a shorter walk to America Bay. The cloud had disappeared by now and it was very warm. We arrived at the bay lookout with amazing views and spent a little bit of time admiring the vista.

Back to the van and on the way we came across a gooana lizard sunning himself on the path. From here we were driven back to Sydney arriving back at about 4pm. We dropped our things off and walked a short distance to a lovely English style pub for a couple of drinks.

We headed back to the apartment for a shower and change before catching a train to Erskineville to meet Beth and a couple of her friends for a night out. After trying out a few bars Beth showed us her current house and we ordered an Uber home after a long night.Leggi altro
