CENTRAL COAST - 30 OCTOBER TO 4 NOVEMBER 2022

 

30 OCTOBER

KINCUMBA MOUNTAIN RESERVE

A beautiful morning.

A surf check revealed small cross shore waves.

I drove up to Kincumba Mountain for a mountain bike ride. It was a fun ride. Some of the tracks had changed after the rains and it was a bit more challenging. Near the start and at a different location towards the end of the ride, there was a wallaby on the track. 😊

31 OCTOBER

BRISBANE WATER NATIONAL PARK

A hike to around the old quarry off Woy Woy Road.

It was very pretty wandering around the edge of the man-made lakes. They were left abandoned years ago and since then, the holes had filled with water, plants had grown, insects abound, and birds regularly forage. A few of the tracks were a bit rough, especially, when squeezing past the plants with leaves that were hard and sharp.

2 NOVEMBER

BRISBANE WATER NATIONAL PARK

A hike along the Piles Creek Loop in Brisbane Water National Park.

A long hike following the high area of Piles Creek and crossing the creek along a suspension bridge. There were heaps of wildflowers (some were endangered), cliffs, water dripping off the cliffs, sandstone overhangs, waterfalls, cascades, a lot of up and down hiking, a lyre bird and a juvenile goanna. It all made for a long and eventful hike.

3 NOVEMBER

BOUDDI NATIONAL PARK

A short hike over the hill to Lobster Beach. We wandered along the beach, sat on a rock and enjoyed the view. A very pretty spot.

4 NOVEMBER

KINCUMBA MOUNTAIN

A short ride at Kincumba Mountain on a new track.
