Bushwalk…

Makes you feel old when your kids are telling you to hurry up…
Centennial glen, a favourite little waterfall of mine, out of the way and very few people visit it, the location is more popular with the rock-climbing crowd where there is a nice overhand wall which seems to tick all the boxes and always seems to have someone hanging off it:) .

Its also only a short walk which meant its suitable for all three of these crazy chops, anyone who has been to this spot will appreciate the fact its not made for those of us with a larger stature, these little ones could not figure out why it was so hard for me as I’m bent over double crawling along the tiny rock ledge to get to the head of the creek and waterfall. If anyone was gonna fall in teh drink it would have been me

What I loved about my grandparents is that they did not worry about kids climbing on stuff, even when I told my kids to be careful they were like ‘its ok they are alright’ or ‘just watch out you don’t hurt yourself’

As i look at our lounge at home, with pen marks, stains and god knows what else.. really, does it matter? your only on this planet for a short time, there are bigger and better things to worry about…

Here’s little E working out how to use grandpas cool chair which vibrated, lifted up, laid down and generally is the coolest thing for any kid to play on…

Chilling out on Bare Island trying out some new toys, would be a bunch more interesting with the other type of Bears, according to my middle daughter

What i really like about these is that you can use them with the lens hood and remove them very easily between shots where need be. Whilst not critical for this kind of scene, when your under a shower of spray in a waterfall a lens hood can make the difference between a miserable session and a great one

I’ve been to this spot a few times over the years, each time go i remember the first time I went here way back in 2009, before social media discovered it, back when Nearmaps (better imagery than google) was still free, which at the time was what i used to see where to walk. It was a bunch easier then, very little vegetation and it was pretty easy to go down the old road and get to the bottom, now its shin scratching spider infested, head crab eating stroll..

I go back every couple of years and its cool to see how time has worn away at it and overgrown it and restrictions put in place to stop people photographing it….

Thelma Point. I visited this little spot some years and have always wanted to get back with the right conditions, its a fine balance between too much water flowing over the rockshelf and not enough to create a nice cascade.

Its also a good reminder to watch the sea and never assume that just cause there has not been any waves come across for 5 or 10 minutes that its all sweet. This spot, on this morning, had some odd rhythms to it, it would go almost 12 or 15 minutes without a wave making it over the shelf, then you get a whole bunch, like 5 or 6 waves that would nail it.. and when those bunker busters are pounding the pavement its hard to hold your own

Starry Boats – I think if more people went outside and stared at the stars for a while the world would be a better place. Remember, your just a collection molecules floating thru space and one day they will be returned.. lifes too short to argue with dicks on the internet..(but sure as hell its fun )

 I wonder whether in the future with cremations a more popular option whether the stroll thru the cemetery will have the same impact as it does now, or moreso in the past. It’s always an interesting and often sad journey when you come across graves of young children, there is only a titbit of information your given on the headstone which leaves alot to the imagination.

Ironically I took this image not knowing anything about the grave and it was not until i looked at the picture did i read it – Cara, was born only a short year or so after me and is only a bit younger than Little E when she died….
Its a nice headstone with a nice message.
