Lots of animals.

Hi lovelies,

For the past couple of days we have been blessed to see such an array of wildlife.


Yesterday we had to take a trip back down to Ulladulla to retrieve Robbie's wallet which had been found by a very honest shopper and returned to Woolworths.  He actually lost it last Thursday but we did not notice until the weekend.  A number of phone calls to places we had been to try and find it, and were praising God when Woolies said they had it.

On the way home we did some detours into different bays around St George's Basin.  A number of lovely spots.

Driving down the main road we were amaze to see this massive mob of kangaroos.  They were not at all scared of us, so we stopped to grab a photo or two.
 


We also spotted these two characters who were decorating a front yard.  One just for decoration I hope,





 and one as the mailbox.




Today we ventured off to Booderee National Park, because I used my much loved "let's go for a walk" phrase. 😆.

The first stop was to see another gorgeous white sand beach.


Green Patch beach was stunning, with its crystal clear water.



The Munyunga Waraga Walk is a circuit track that goes from Murrays Beach up to Governors Head


then along the cliff edge past Devils Elbow


and then back through the bushland.



We were blessed with the views, and the wildlife.


This gentleman was sitting quite bravely just beside us at Govenors Head.  Such a regal looking bird.



We again saw some whales making their way north.

After the walk we ventured off to the Cape St George Lighthouse ruins.  Found a lovely spot to have some lunch and then ventured around the ruins.



This lighthouse was supposedly built in a hurry.  It was in the wrong place and so when the new one was built at Perpendicular Point it was vacated.


It obviously was not happy about not being used as it continued to cause problems for ships with reflecting moonlight and still steering ships astray.


For its continued harassment of shipping the government actually blew the lighthouse up.



We again saw some whales.  They are so lovely to see.  No pics today.  Too busy watching.

It was then off to Caves Beach for a look.  This was pretty special.


 Kangaroos in both the car park


and the camp area.



 A lovely lookout.


and a beautiful beach.





The caves were pretty cool.


What did amaze us was the flow of water that was coming down one of the cliff edges.


You did not immediately see the drips, but heard the noise.  It was kind of musical and was so lovely.


Back to the van via the local grocery store.

Another amazing day.

Tomorrow is a day off for us.  Some chores, some journalling, some fishing and I am pretty sure a nap.

Stay safe lovelies and keep enjoying life.

Love us.

Final wrap up of our NZ visit

We have had an amazing time visiting the South Island, and also a few days in the North at Wellington to mainly visit the WETA workshop. On Saturday the 29th Nov we flew up to Wellington for a few days to have a look about and visit the WETA workshop. Wellington did live up to its reputation of being windy. Its a nice city built around a harbor. Most things are easy walking distance from the city centre.  We took a few walks along the harbor. Elizabeth wanted to try what they call white bait. It looks like worms with eyes. It was cooked with egg. Neither of us were a great fan of this. We took the cable car up the mountain to see the sights and buy more souvenirs :).   Our main objective was to visit the WETA workshop who have lots of special effects and prosthetics used in films such as LOTR.  The shop was amazing with lots of expensive models but also prints and other items at reasonable rates. We had orders from family for few things and we also purchased a couple...

Caves Beach

Hi all, another day of exploring this terrific area. We went to visit Caves Beach today and had to do so at low tide due to the caves accessibility being blocked at high tide. The beach itself was a long and flat where the tide moves up the beach some 15-20 m from low to high. The main claim to fame are the beach caves. The water has eroded a number of small and large caves that aren't deep but very interesting. Some have swallows living within them. You can make your way around the bay by going through the cave to the next area. 1 area we had to time it so as not to get too wet as the tide washed through. After exploring the caves we wandered back to do the walk on the cliff edge (not that close). It was great to get a good view of the area. We even spoke to some fisherman who were fishing from the cliff. (yes they caught a Kingfish that we saw). We then looked up the Petrified Forest near the entrance to the Lake Macquarie , S...
