Cabbage Tree Creek runs into the Shoalhaven River just west of Nowra.
A short 4.4klm return walk down a fire trail from next to the recycling centre. A very hot and humid day under the cloud cover. I wanted to check out if I could beach here when kayaking. Yes I can.
Easy walking down through open forest. Not many birds today but a nice Lace Monitor watched as I went past.
A nice easy walk down before a steep drop down to the river flats and along under the cliffs. The Basin opens up where the freshwater comes over the waterfall and into the saltwater tributary of the Shoalhaven River. Not a lot of water coming over today.
The river flats a very weedy but beauty can be found anywhere.
Been a while. Many excuses- Covid lockdowns, shift work, nagging injuries, spending more time on projects at home, Google changing Picasa, slow computer and trying to learn Adobe Lightroom ,but I am also getting older and tired.
Hoping for a renaissance and getting back to it all though.
I've been walking some of the Bungonia Tracks on the way to and from Bundanoon.
The Yellow Track crosses Bungonia Creek and heads out to a lookout over Jerrara Creek Canyon. 4.7klm return from the track head at the Bungonia Camping Area.
Not long till you drop down and cross Bungonia Creek.
You then follow the ridge above the creek for a while.
Looking down at a nice"finger" of rock in the creek
A patch of Tiger Orchids (Diuris sulphurea?) on the ridge top.
And a flock of Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos
Bulbine bulbosa in flower on the rocks at the lookout.
Frome Hill from the lookout. A hazy day and you can pick the clearer/brighter photos that have been edited in Lightroom.
