25 OCTOBER
A kayak at Avoca
Lagoon.
I picked a couple of
spots out of the wind and in the sun to watch the antics of the various birds.
It was relaxing to soak in the sun and just gaze about. I also paddled through
the reeds for a rougher paddle. The birds were in abundance with four juvenile
swans and their parents foraging for food.
26 OCTOBER
A mountain bike ride
at Bouddi NP.
I followed my favourite
loop – Turkey, North-west ridge, Cliff, Strom and Ferny tacks. A fun ride with
some flowy sections.
A swim and relax at
Terrigal Haven Beach with Jacinta.
A bit chilly in the
water but it was nice to cool down after the bike ride.
28 OCTOBER
A beach cycle along
Ocean Beach to Ettalong.
Such a fun ride on the
beach. People saying hello, racing the breakers on the shoreline, dogs running alongside,
people doing fun things in the water. The tide was low enough to do the ride
all the way to the last private jetty at Ettalong.
A swim and relax at
Terrigal Haven with Jacinta.
New swim goggles were
excellent with good visibility today.
31 OCTOBER
A mountain bike ride
and hike to Spion Kop at Brisbane Water National Park.
It was downhill all
the way along Bambara Road, the Koolewong fire trail and the final turnoff
ending at the creek that runs into Waterfall Bay. The last section was very
rugged and I had to stop heaps due to erosion and fallen trees. The ride along
the creek was fun over smoothed sandstone. Just before the creek drops over a 5-metre
fall, I parked my bike and hiked. The track climbed uphill between two boulders
on the western side of the creek. The track was relatively easy to followed
winding up steeply in between boulders and trees. After that, the track wound
it’s way along. I stopped for a rest on a flat sandstone outcrop. I realised; I
left my water with the bike. Being a hot morning and still an hour roundtrip to
go, I decided to head back and finish it another day.
A swim and relax at Terrigal
Haven.
It was a welcome swim
after the hot ride/hike.
