Easter Friday at Bobbin Head

Bobbin Head is one of our favourite spots in Sydney for a walk and to take some snaps. The million dollar boats are always photogenic with their reflections in the Hawkesbury River. The local Kookaburra is always up for a close portrait shot, as are the multi-coloured rainbow lorikeets. The mangrove crabs are also colourful in their green or red armour - though notoriously difficult to get in focus even with good macro lenses while lying on your stomach on the boardwalk. The view from the visitor centre is stunning of the river below and the shady forrests are always restful with their generous shade. Not to mention that the local shop stocks my favoutite icecream and does great coffee. All in all, a wonderful spot for an Easter Friday ramble with Mum and Mike...

Scenes on the Bondi to Coogee walk

The Bondi to Cogee Coastal walk provides a 6 km ramble along some of the most scenery you can imagine. The deep red and orange rock formations are beautifully sculptured by wind and sea. The coves and beaches are cosy with white sand and some great surf that the many surfers relish. There are plenty of little shops and cafees to provide breathers and replenishment. There are also several great tidal pools to swim in if the buffeting ocean is not your thing. Not to mention on a good day, there are plenty of white pointers around (topless women) adding a cherry on the top to the scenery. Not surprisingly, we bring mum and Mike here whenever they visit...

Sydney Triathlon

Charles and I went to watch the Sydney Triathlon at Mrs Macquaries Chair and take some photos. It was a good morning out. Having ticked off my triathlon quota in the UK (yes, once was enough!), I was happy to take snaps on the sidelines...
