Birdies.

One day I will do a review of all the best places to stop on the drive up the coast, however for now lets start with one place not to stop ๐Ÿ™‚

Well thats probably a bit harsh, probably just a place not to my liking, I am skeptical of anything with the word artisan in it especially coming from the inner west of sydney which is full of places masquerading as artisan ๐Ÿ™‚ anyway this is a bakery, location to remain unnamed, you will know it if you see it ๐Ÿ™‚ which probably does have some artisan qualities, however when it costs over 7 bucks for a coffee (with oatmilk – did i mention I’m from the inner west ?) I kinda draw the line… and with my own keepcup too… even my local coffee place in the inner west does not charge this much…and gives me a discount for bringing my own cup.

so a place to stop, go visit the birds, these ones are at the Cattai Wetlands, no coffee but they do have flushing toilets ๐Ÿ™‚ and the serenity will certainly keep you sane in the traffic on the road that is our national east coast highway ๐Ÿ™‚

The pelican by the way refused to move, hence only one picture of him.

Bogan Stars.

Sitting out here in the pitch black with all my micro bat friends and a few stars at this cool little spot at the end of Dunbogan Beach. If your keen you can walk all the way along this beach and you will get to Crowdy Head National Park.

The geology in this area is also very interesting, this clump of rocks in the ocean that I was sitting on are a type of conglomerate sedimentary rock with really neat seams in it, hard on the ass, but interesting none the less.

The bright light on the horizon is the moon as it was setting.

The Cosmic Path.

just don’t fall off the comic cliff.
Some very cool rock formations on the much insta loved Lincolns rock – probably the only place in the Blue mountains where the parking is $2.5 per 15 minutes…. all day and night ๐Ÿ˜‰

The Lincoln Rock Cave.

The Lincoln Rock Cave.

soo.. what did ya do on thursday night ? sat in a cave with Rodney Campbell and played with coloured torches…

I had been meaning to shoot the milkyway from this cave for awhile, given the milkyway season is coming to end soon and its typically on the western side during sensible hours (ie not after 2 am) it was the obvious choice… probably the tursday night not so much with work the next day.. but sometimes ya gotta just run with what time you have ๐Ÿ™‚

Here’s a cool collage of the cave with some colour variety …
