CENTRAL COAST - SURF, MTB, MARKETS - 13 NOVEMBER 2018

10 November 2018

A small but fun surf with Terry and Jim (jungle) at North Avoca. A nice shape at the beginning but after an hour the tide became too full and the waves were barely breaking and closer to shore.

Jacinta and I went to the French Markets . It was interesting but no bargains to be found in the stalls. There was nice music playing - guitar and piano accordion. We ran into a number of Jacinta's work colleagues.

A mountain bike ride on the Rocky Point tracks at Bouddi National Park.

A good ride with a few obstacles - drop offs, tree roots, rocks, etc. The view at the lookout at the end of the ride is always inspiring.

A mountain bike ride at Brisbane Water National Park to Rocky Ponds.

A fun ride with a few steep sections with lots of fist sized rocks scattered across the trail. A bit scary with a bit of speed but all was good. At the ponds, I sat in the sunshine and watched the water flow. I also had a wander around the many levels of the ponds,. Nice.

On the way back, I got a bit of a shock when I nearly ran over a massive brown snake. Luckily, it was paying attention to me and was eagerly getting out of my way.

Over the last week, Jacinta and I have been working heaps in the front garden - weeding, planting, tidying - a massive job.

BOUDDI NP - ROCKY POINT TRAIL MTB - 18 JUNE 2016

I parked near Maitland Bay Road and Wards Hill Road.


I started on the Daleys Point Trail then rode a small, fun and  narrow track that joined onto the Rocky Point Trail.

I followed the main trail for awhile. It was easy with some small obstacles and a few wet sections.

I took a track to the right which was steep and rugged. It was so much fun as it was so hard. there were a couple of drop offs that were beyond me which I walked down. Still, it was a great track. there was one section where I was walking up the trail as it was a drop of about two metres. Bike tracks showed that some riders have done the drop. Amazing!

Just above this point, there were a group of large sandstone boulders which I wandered around and on top of. Nice view of the surrounding bush and some great looking grass trees with their amazing flower.

Back to the main track and then it was a turn off for Allen Strom Lookout. A fun ride on this track with a great view across the south of Brisbane Water.

Back to the main track for a short distant for another track back on the northern side of the trail. This was hard in spots but doable.

A fun 3.03km ride with some exciting side tracks.
