Its a Bridge.

Without a cycleway included. I love a good expressway, tunnel or flyover.. but we really need to include more modes, the cost to do so is is so small compared to the cost to add infrastructure for cars etc its a no brainer.

There is a great cycleway here now, but there was also one there before.. I know its not just one party (in this case The Gateway Project) to blame, but its embarrassing to see the lack of pedestrian and bike access at Sydney airport….

It’s alittle bit wet out there.

yeah yeah, she’ll be right, that 100mm they are forecasting wont come thru until mid morning.. nup, it rained pretty much the whole morning and not that little sprinkling style either. Like the rain that flows down into your boots and fills them up… I may need to revise the wet weather clothing, waterproof boots are great except when they fill up from the ankle 😉
Nonetheless, walking thru a flooded coast track in the royal national park was still fun and got to see first hand where all that water goes, in this case/spot it makes these cool waterfalls as it flows off the rock shelf.
It was time to go home after this one, when you have to wring out your microfibre cloth before trying to dry your lens is a good sign its probably too wet 🙂

Royal National Park – Curra Brook and Curracurrong Creek
The first set of waterfalls on the right are the exit of Curracurrong Creek, the one in the distance is Curra Brook
Taken from Eagle (aka turtle) rock. I had the whole place to my self, no fair weather selfie takers this day 🙂 Big swell too, could feel those wave pounding the cliff.

So many gold rock puns, so little time.
Burramoko Ridge aka Hanging Rock, this place is pretty cool, like a lot of walks in the mountains its a walk thru shrub which ends up opening into an amazing vista upon a rather large cliff. The precarious-ness of the spot is not really apparent (or appreciated) in the dark or until you actually see the spot you are standing on from a lower down or valley side perspective. Whilst it was certainly a fizzer of a sunrise, the enjoyment of the ride out there and just being in a place as special as this was worth that…an epic sunrise woulda been nice tho.
This shot (stitched pano) is well… More

The real moon?

The real moon?
I left it pretty late to get to this spot and assumed that I would be the only one silly enough to be down here at this time, however I was very much wrong 🙂
I parked up on the main road and road the pushie down the fire trail and did not see anyone on the way in – I gotta say those rocks on that Curra Moor trail have seemed to have gotten larger, I think i managed to hit every large rock and also every deep patch of sand and my arse cheeks are definitely worse for wear now. Anyways get down there just as the sun was disappearing and there are hordes of people doing selfies on the rock.. well hordes might be a slight over statement but… more than the zero people I was expecting 🙂 So i figured i’ll just take a few pictures of them 🙂
and for an extra laugh …. if you look at one of the pano ones.. its me taking a picture of dude who is taking a picture of another dude who is actually the one taking the picture of the dude on the rock..

Just for kicks and giggles I thought I would relocate the moon from one shot to this one – its actually alot harder than it looks, well to get it to look real anyways…
Had to do something with the dismal sunset at Eagle rock 🙂

It was a struggle to get to this place 😉 .. had to walk the whole way across the road and all the way down this breakwall.. lucky it was so close cause it’s not much to look at, buildings next to the beach : )
