Simmo's Beach

Simmo's Beach is on the Georges River at Macquarie Fields.
A popular swimming spot with BBQ and Picnic area.

There is a cost though for being a popular spot with easy access and the amount of rubbish here was disappointing to say the least.

 

 

Frere's Crossing

Frere's Crossing is on the Georges River at Kentlyn near Campbelltown. The road was the old way
 from Campbelltown to Wollongong.

All that remains now are the old bridge supports and the fire trail that leads into the Holsworthy Military range.

This Red bellied Black Snake, about 60cm long, was very active hunting amongst the rocks on the crossing.

Long pools either side of the crossing although swimming is discouraged due to pollution. This seemed weird as further downstream at Simmo's Beach there is plenty of swimming.

Perfect day and not a soul to be seen or heard.

 

 

Learn to Sail

A gift voucher from my daughter for a 3 hour learn to sail on Sydney Harbour.

From The Spit at Mosman we sailed to Manly and back and forward between the Heads and then down the Harbour to Bradleys Head.

 A brief shower as we started and had our briefing and then a perfect day.

 

 

 

Thank you Tegan

A short well constructed track down to Maddens Creek and on to the falls.

Not the most spectacular falls with this amount of water.

The creek above the falls.

Looking across the falls to the lookout.

A 2 klm return walk.

 

Jingga Pool, Dharawal National Park

Steep walk down to Jingga Pool from the Wedderburn end of Dharawal National Park.
 Perfect swimming hole although still a little cold for me at this time of year.

 

A small weir behind the waterfall which was built to gauge the flow of the creek.

 Panorama from the waterfall shooting into the sun.

 

Creek view from the track out. Approx 4klm return walk from the car.
