I checked the surf at MacMasters Beach but a no go.
I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do so I drove over to
Pearl Beach for a hike around the Nature Arboretum. It was a pleasant walk and
I sighted one bird close up.
After that, i had coffee on Pearl Beach. Always a great view
and sit.
Later that night, Jacinta and I
saw Kingtide a rock steady reggae band at the Rhythm Hut at Gosford. the venue
was different - hippy like - but I liked it. My long time friend since early
surfing days, Tony was the main singer and I think songwriter for the band.
Great night.

I checked the surf for a no go
answer again.
Later, when it warmed up I had a
mountain bike ride at Brisbane Water National Park on the Mullet Creek trail.
The trail leads to a dead end
with some views over Mullet Creek. Along the way there were a number of turn
off trails/tracks .
I explored the tracks on the way
back. All of these tracks/trails were very steep and rough. i was doing a bit
of sliding at times.
The first track lead to an
outcrop of sandstone with a steep drop down to the creek. Nice view.
The second lead to high tension
electricity poles.
The third had views over the
passing railway tracks. Once again a great view and a different perspective on
trains and railway lines.
The next trail lead very steeply
downhill to a rough track that lead to the entrance of the railway tunnel. I
parked the bike and walked along the edge of the workers area that as above the
tracks. Great perspective and just behind the lines was a rainforest and the
green moss covered boulders of the creek. So pretty.
On the way back, I met a fellow
biker, James, who was new to the Central Coast from Victoria. It was nice
having a bike chat. We left and before long James was out of sight. :)

Again, a no go for the surf.
I continued on and had a kayak at
Avoca Lagoon. This kayak was a birds and bats on show paddle. The area I
paddled around was sheltered from the wind and was very serene and quiet. A
number of birds had congregated and I was able to get quite close to them. A
magic morning.
Later, I had a coffee and wander
along Terrigal Beach.
6 june
Not good waves again this morning
but I had a great funny chat with Tim and Terry while we were watching the
waves.
Afterwards, I joined Jacinta at
Terrigal Haven for a coffee.
7 june
Rain and thunder this morning and
into the afternoon.
I went indoors to the movies to
see "Deadmen Tell no Tales'. It was fast paced, action, great stunts and funny.
Very entertaining.
