Bushwalk Australia

Our long standing plan for last for last weekend was to take a couple of friends to the NE Ridge of Anne. As the weekend drew closer, I meditated a lot on the likely depth of snow on the Pandani Shelf and we reverted to Plan B.

We retrieved Honey Bee from her Cygnet mooring, loaded her with food, wine and our friends and, taking advantage of a forecast for Northerly weather, headed south to Cloudy Bay. We ended up in Cloudy Corner and from there we had a fabulous walk up East Cloudy Head. The vegetation is still recovering from the fire of a few years ago, but is still worth the walk and the view was stunning both to the East and to the West.



Stepping off the track would result in a good covering of soot, but there are new banksias appearing as well as this:



The Running Postman was thriving in the post-fire environment:

There was a profusion of Spider Orchids:



There was spectacular new eucalypt growth:



And the walk was relatively short as we had transport waiting for us at the eastern end of the beach:

Sometimes life should stop and we should all count our blessings.
Of the 2 choices you were given......................
Love the pic of the running postman, thanks Pedro

I particularly like what "Honey Bee" does for you...
Mate, buddy, pal... Going to Bathurst Harbour anytime soon? Need a deackhand?

Looks like you had a great time. Well done!

Early January with a bit of luck and a lot of planning. We seem too have a few volunteers for the deckhand position
