| Cascades, Namadji, Petty Beach and North Head | Year 6 - February 2016 - March 2016 | |
|
More rest. Headed south to Cooma from Braidwood to visit a friend.
The Cascades Campsite and Tuross Falls are in Wadbilliga National Park. I think. There's a bit of a maze of national park and wilderness area. |
|
|
A pleasant walk to the falls. A few km. | |
|
And a glimpse of Tuross Falls.
No amateur archeological commentary this time. Totally flumoxed. Just not granite or sandstone! |
|
|
With regulation goanna back at the campsite. | |
|
Returning north towards Canberra we seem to always comment on this roadside collection of post boxes. | |
|
A quick visit to Namadgi National Park.
We enjoy the easy walk along the floor of Orroral Valley. |
|
|
This time we ventured into the Nursery Swamp.
A smaller valley. Few kangaroos. We walked to the head of the valley. |
|
|
Next day Booroomba Rocks.
Looking towards Canberra. Definitely granite! |
|
|
Unfortunately an achilles tendon decided to play up a bit.
Limped back to camp. A few weeks rest. It seems to have come right. May be a relatively common side effect of medication. Two steps forward, one back. |
|
|
The seaside is always good for a rest.
This is Pretty Beach. A bit of hobbling to the beach and back from the campsite. Not quite warm enough for us to swim. At least that's our excuse. |
|
|
A bit more hobbling along the tops. | |
|
Getting mixed up between beaches.
We moved to North Head. |
|
|
Looking north. | |
|
Looking south. | |
|
Looking down.
We ventured along the rocks. |
|
|
Nearly looking up!
But really nice were the tangled spotted gums. And we think Budawangs. |
|
|
Just enough sunlight on our camp to recharge batteries.
A couple of meals, and interminable cups of coffee, cooked on the campfire.
|
|
|
Looking north again. | |
|
We didn't tire of the forest. | |
|
Or the eagle that visited the beach. | |
|
Eventually the clouds lifted and the sun shone through. | |
|
And we found the end of the headland.
Even though it wasn't lost. Batemans Bay is to the right. Which meant good internet. |
|
|
We moved again to Depot Beach.
Then walked over the headland south. Still hobbling a bit. We decided against walking too much further along the beach. |
|
|
But did find this yellow robin. | |
|
And the sunrise at Depot Beach. | |
|
Then back to North Head.
Again. It seems to be more or less central, accessible, with internet for planning, and few people. |
|
|
Just nice watching the birds. | |
