Fernleigh Track Tunnel.

Hi lovelies,

Well we certainly slept well last night, and this morning parts of our poor bodies hurt just a little. 😊

Not to be deterred I asked Robbie about going for a short walk to see the tunnel on the Fernleigh Track.

It was only 1km from the parking lot. The track was all paved and fairly flat.

Our only problem with this was that we went to the wrong car park. So our nice 2km walk, turned into a slightly longer 5.8km walk.

It was a pleasant walk, and we did see some lovely sights.

These swans and ducks were having a little morning meeting on the river bank.

One swan allowed us to get very close to him, though I was a bit sceptical about whether he would attack us or not.

Some birds having some morning tea.

Some abandoned rail items,

and finally we reached the tunnel.

It was really cool to see, and we were glad we took the time to go.

This was the only safety drop in not bricked over.

There was a light at the end of the tunnel :-)

When we got back to the car, we were a little sore, and headed for Reid’s Reserve for a spot of lunch and some fishing for Rob and sketching for me.

No fish and no finished sketch, but Robbie did find a piece of abandoned art.

Before dinner tonight we went for a walk up to the local shop and were rewarded by seeing these cute bunnies.

I am fairly certain there will be no walk tomorrow, and not sure how long before Rob trusts my “let’s go for a walk” suggestions.

All for tonight lovelies.

Stay safe 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...
