Royal National Park (Garie Beach to Eagle Rock)

A wonderful walk from  Garie Beach to Eagle Rock with Srini and Gavin.  We chose this gentle but beautiful walk to give Srini's sprained foot a bit of a rest.

Highlights included...

• In the car, excitingly anticipating our Arctic trip in July.
• The rivers were pumping after the rain so the waterfalls off the sea cliffs were the most impressive I've ever seen on this walk. 
• Practicing macro photography with mushrooms and flowers. The iPhone 13 macro functionality is the bomb!
• Gavin doing amazing Richard Attenborough type video lessons on precipitation, waterfalls and erosion - just spontaneously off the cuff.
• Trying to dam a little stream at the beach.  The water won the battle!
• An invigorating swim to end our hike and some handstands on the beach.
• A delicious prawn wrap at "Eat Grk" on the way home.

The Grand Canyon and Centennial Glen after all the rain

The water was out in force in The Blue Mountains after all the rain.  We had to cross some rampant streams and even help a family of young kids to get across. The highlight of the day was an invigorating swim in a canyon rock pool with a thundering waterfall at our backs. Such a great day out despite Srini spraining his foot and having to take it very easy.

Uloola Track (Royal National Park) with Srini, Lucy and Michael

The forecast said it was going to rain but we went anyway, and the weather was great. A lovely day out swimming in a beautiful creek and walking to Uloola Falls.  I got to meet two of Srini's friends, such a wonderful couple.

 

 

Mum's 75th birthday

 

Hi there mum

Happy, happy birthday.  What a wonderful milestone. A great opportunity to reflect on the full and meaningful life you've lived so far and look forward to the years ahead. Thank you for being such a wonderful mum, I honestly couldn't have asked for a better one.  It's not a surprise that you're so loved by your all your family and life-long friends. It comes from being the beautiful, generous, loving person you are.  Hope you have a wonderful, special day.
