Westbreak Fire Trail

The Westbreak Fire Trail at Colo Vale. The trail takes you out to an unofficial lookout over the Nattai Gorge. An easy 5.4klm return walk with big rewards in terms of the view.

Mt Flora

Magnificent views from the end of the fire trail through the Nattai Wilderness to the Blue Mountains and Katoomba.

Mt Jellore 

The Nattai River Gorge 

A surprising gem of a walk. Already planning a return visit at sunrise for some more colour from the cliffs.

Gibbergunyah Reserve

A morning appointment in Moss Vale allowed for a coffee and meat pie breakfast at the bakery and a good display of tulips in the local park.

Then off to Gibbergunyah Reserve for a walk.  

Ten minutes into the walk the rain started and did not let up until back at the car.

The walk is a loop around some nice bushland in Gibbergunyah Reserve which lies between Bowral and Mittagong. 

Two lookouts on the walk, the first of which looks to Mt Gibraltar. Not the best views through the rain. 

Then on round the loop to 90 Acre Hill with views across the farmland of Woodlands with Mt Jellore just visible through the rain shroud. 

A wet 6.4klm walk.

Coba Point

Coba Point on Berowra Creek in Marramarra National Park. After dinner with my sister and her partner I drove out past Fidddletown and camped near the old quarry again. Up and away early I rode out to Collingridge Point before leaving the bike at the start of the Coba Point track for the walk in and back. 11klm on the bike and 11klm walk. Back at the car by 1230.

At Collingridge Point An overcast sky with a light mist of rain for about 5 minutes.

Great views of Berowra Creek 

Looking across into Joe Crafts Bay

Heading off down the Coba Point track there was a short side track along a ridge with views back to Collingridge Point. The first snake of the year, a Brown Snake, gracefully ceded the sunny lookout to me. 

Collinridge Point 

First views of Coba Bay from the track.

At Coba Point  

Bar Island with Berowra Peak behind Bar Point 

Coba Bay with its Twin Beaches. 

Like walking through a garden today. A great time of the year to be out, but then it always is.
