It's been an interesting week. An ambulance ride and a couple of days in hospital with a kidney stone, and then some recuperation time at home with a stent in to help with the flow from my kidney. So with the stent still not out, I was looking for a short easy walk close to home. Had always wanted to stop on the expressway near Jolls Bridge and take a look from the ridge separating the Hawkesbury River from Mooney Mooney Creek.
A very foggy morning meant a wait for it to lift before I started on the walk. With 4 or 5 separate viewpoints it was a great way to spend a couple of hours.

Then south along the ridge to a higher viewpoint over Mooney Mooney.

Mid right on this shot is Cascade Gully with the wreck of the original HMAS Parramatta
A very enjoyable interlude, not the least for being back out again.
When talking to my son he did mention that as a teenager I had told him to not worry about me as "I am f...ing invincible". The answer to that is that I'm still here. That will work up to a point. Make of that what you will.
