Buckenbowra River, Corn Trail

I wanted to scout out the lower end of the Corn Trail which starts in Monga National Park on the plateau and ends in the coastal valley of the Buckenbowra River. A logistically 

hard walk to organise when your on your own and dont want to do an out and back. The lower access is 20klm from the turn off the highway at Clyde Mountain.  The track starts on the banks of the Buckenbowra River and then immediately climbs a ridge up into the forest. I followed this for the first couple of klms before heading back to the car.

Nice and quiet walk but once away from the river there was little real views. Still, a pleasant way to spend a morning.

North Haven Break

We had a week away at North Haven on the mid north coast. I haven't been sick for years, but a combination of being run down from big days moving house from the Central Coast to the South Coast and live culture vaccinations required for my new job, saw me crook as a dog. For the first few days I could hardly leave the bed and I just slept. For the last few days I was up but Chris succumbed so a week away when we didn't do much. C'est la vie.

What we did manage over the week was:

A short drive and walk around Diamond Head  and Kylies Beach in Crowdy Bay National Park

A short drive around Queens Lake on a hazy day looking back at Dooragan or North Brother Mountain 

A walk into Kattang Nature Reserve.

And a stop at the Lookout on Big Brother Mountain with views over Camden Haven 

And Watson Taylor Lake and the levee of the Camden River as it enters into the lake. 

On the way home a look at the Cattai Wetlands.  

Bingie Bingie Point

A morning at the markets at Moruya and a stroll through the main street shopping before off to Bingie Bingie Point in Eurobodalla National Park.

Views south over Tuross Lakes to Gulaga or Mt Dromedary

Known geologically for bands of 2 different coloured igneous rocks.

And the wreck of the SS Monaro from May 1879

Another beautiful south coast gem..

Clyde Paddle

First paddle since moving down here. Launched from the boat ramp next to the bridge on the southern side and did a short loop around Budd Island.

Through the oyster leases in a mirror calm river. 

So many Jellyfish. I just sat, mesmerised,  for ages. Like a graceful ballet, the jellyfish dancing in all directions and different depths.

The Clyde Bridge. A new bridge to be built soon and the old demolished.
