Cycling down to Kiama
A few weeks ago I went with Span on a cycling trip from Macquarie to Kiama.
This is a great trip, you catch the train to Macquarie for the start then ride through beautiful rolling hills to the Robertson Hotel for the night. Actually those hills tended to roll far more up than down, but it meant dinner was really appreciated!
Cockatoo Island, Sydney Harbour’s Working History
On the weekend I joined up with a photographic shoot with the Sydney photography forum group on Cockatoo Island. The island has been used for various ship-building and convict activities since around 1850 and there was lots of equipment in various states of rust and disrepair and interesting building. For some reason, I find aging metal has the most beautiful colours. The Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority is in the process of restoring it. In the meantime it has just been reopened, things aren’t yet fenced off so it is the perfect time to have a look.
Stunning white Limestone in the Royal National Park
The trip starts at Cronulla in Sydney South with a really pretty ferry ride to Bundeena and then a few quick kilometres hiking into the park. Very quickly you start getting the incredible views.
