Thread: Dai Sensei's Travels - Trip 1

I still reckon that is a great setup you have there Neil and I am sure there is plenty of sightseeing and traveling to go yet. how long are you in forster for ?

I have to get out of the caravan park Thursday as it is booked out over Easter. I want to call in on Peter at Artisans on the Hill, plus do the back loop to see the seals etc, so at least another week(?).

Now you're unconstrained by employment, other people's holidays will just get in the way!

I thought you were going to say that you are coming back to show me how to make the ear rings

Cheers Ian

Current too strong to go fishing off the rocks at Tuncurry, need to wait for the tide to turn. I was actually booked in to go fishing on a boat today, but the group on the boat pulled out so it was cancelled, lucky though as it is a rough as guts.

So I went for a walk down to the breakwater this morning. Took some photomontage shots of the beach and the entrance looking in. Also caught a glimpse of a dolphin playing/fishing near the pool net.

Last night I took some photomontage shots of my cousins house on sunset. Basically I was walking back from checking out some trees and caught the sun going down fast

All the photos are just with the phone camera I had on me.

Cheers

There's only one spot better than that Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest just back down the coast.

The Dolphins are regulars Neil even since I was a kid.

Beaut shots especially with Mobile.

Not very dedicated fisher person.

diito, usually there is a pod around the bridge.

While I was watching the dolphin, a teenage girl in the rockpool panicked, caught in the current near the fence plus seeing a fin just 6' away . She was rescued by her yummy mummy

After a huge Easter lunch with heaps of rellies, I headed off Tapin Tops around 5:30pm. I ended up staying at Wingham last night, with a zillion bats, as I was too tired to go to Dingo Tops where I had planned to stay. So this morning headed off to Ellenborough Falls to start with. I could only manage the lookout, plus the walk down to the top of the falls, no hope of reaching the bottom (200m down and 641 steps). I took a panorama of the waterfall top, then a series of panoramas of the falls from the lookout, to form a panorama of the panoramas (33 photos in all) for the final photo attached. Not bad for a phone

I am now at Dingo Flats camping ground (last photo single shot), stopped under the California Redwoods (Sequoias), should be a nice cool night at this elevation. I also stopped at the Blue Knob lookout, spectacular 360 degree views of the distant ranges, but not really worth taking a photo as very misty. On a clear day you can see all the way to the coast. Again I couldn't climb the lookout, aluminium ladder up, but got a decent view from the surrounding rocks.

Off to Coorabakh National Park tomorrow, before heading back to Nabiac/Tuncurry again.


Cheers
