BRISBANE WATER NP- GIRRAKOOL LOOP HIKE - 27 OCTOBER 2017

27/10/2017

The day started fine but looked like rain was likely.

I had an ocean swim at Terrigal Haven then I sat on the beach and out of the wind and read a book.

I hadn't been to the movies for awhile so I went to watch 'Geostorm'. It was okay but there were so many holes in the plot. The vice president wants to become the president so he plans to wipe out most of the world and have it looked like the president was accidently killed. Seems it would have been easier to assassinate the president and skip the world destruction part which could have killed him as well.

The weather fined up in the afternoon so I returned to my sitting and reading on beach at Haven.

Back to Brisbane Water National Park for a hike on the Girrakool Loop track with my daughter and Mr Archibald.



The weather was cool and it did rain for a short time while we were walking.

The wildflowers were out and this time I had my best camera for some clearer photos.

Mr Archibald loved the wildflowers, especially, the purple ones.

The rainforest and waterfalls were pretty and Mr Archibald looked quite at home in the rainforest conditions.

FRAZER PARK SURF AND TERRIGAL HAVEN - 2 MAY 2017

The weather has become warm again the last two days.

Today as a brilliant day. the sun was shining, the sky as blue, the ocean was very clear and the water was warm.

I drove up to Munmorah SCA and had a surf at Frazer Beach. It as small and inconsistent but there were one or two okay waves. The water as warm and the wind as very light.

Frazer park is a pretty place with white sand beaches between a rocky coastline.

Later, Kara and I had cappuccinos at Terrigal Haven with Mr Archibald, the Dusty Lorie.

The sun was very warm and there as little wind. The water was  so clear you could easily see the rocks beneath the water surface.

We sat and chatted in the sunshine.

OURIMBAH MTB - 24 FEBRUARY 2017

Yesterday, I had a swim and short walk at Toowoon Bay.

Today, I had a mountain bike ride at Ourimbah mountain bike tracks.

This has the best tracks in the area. It was a long ride with downhills, climbs and a variety of terrains.

Best to just some up the highlights:

An undulating start that reaches a drop that was certainly a bit beyond me to make it through without major breakages. Luckily, there was a more forgiving track to the side.

The rollercoaster was long with speed. A few drops made it so you couldn't get too cocky.

The graveyard was a series of turns through trees.

The magic carpet was up, down, close to boulders and rocks and a few manmade challenges.

It was such a good 7.98 km ride.

Covered in sweat, I drove to the haven for an ocean swim.

Nice start to the day.
