Spring Garden

Sparrow Hill

Bike riding or bird watching?  Beautiful winter weather for it either way.

Dudley Peninsula

Windswept beaches and cliffs, tree lined roads and rivers, old farm buildings, a lighthouse and whales (not uploaded - no telephoto on hand).

Bay of Shoals - the other side

Today we had a rest day after catching up with family last night - so, no driving, just a walk from the beach house around the point.  Nice colours developed over the day and it was lovely out of the southerly wind.

Snow has arrived in the Brindabellas

Queen's Birthday Long Weekend

The last long weekend before spring coming right at the beginning of winter is, to my mind, the single most important beach weekend of the year.  Particularly if the weather turns it on - which happens surprisingly often.  Bring on the exhibits:

Marble Arch

The forests around the Shoalhaven River are great for autumn walks - particularly after the rain we've had.

Plenty of trees and mushrooms of all kinds

And a cave with marble and stalactites 

And a walk back in the late afternoon sunshine before a wade through the Shoalhaven back to the car - don't drink the water (Oliver)
