Well finally I have had a decent Internet connection and time where I can sit down for a day and review our adventures. As this is how long it takes with this Blogger to upload pictures.
We left Bundeena for the Blue mountains and we had a neat little free camp set up in the bush.
The weather was somewhere between raining and really hot.....
We managed some of the shorter walks and I also managed to jump off one of the cliffs for a fly which was awesome even though it was short and not very high the scenery was great.
It was during this time here that we were to learn of the tragedy unfolding in Victoria and our hearts go to those caught up in the bush fires.
From the Blue Mountains we headed for Gosford to get some warranty work done on the trailer, we rented a little (tiny) cabin in a caravan park for 5 days while this was being carried out and the weather was terrible solid rain all week.
As we had an offer to stay in Sydney with the Malouf's who we met in Kangaroo Valley we decided to head down while they finished the work on the trailer and stay in a real house!!!!!
We had an awesome time in Sydney and our hosts were fantastic , we even had choccies on our bed when we arrived:)).
The house overlooks middle harbour and has fantastic views.
They are just great people and we really hope to be able to catch up with them again soon. Thanks George,Suzy,Caitlin and Jonty.
They eventually forced us out kicking and screaming into a mud hole called Myall Lakes :):):) As there had been so much rain in the last 10 days the campsite was mostly under water but we found what we thought was a dry spot until it rained more that night:((.
But that was the last rain and we got to try out the new YAK ,the Blue Beast
I went for a 12.5 km paddle and had blisters on both thumbs to prove it, Debs went on a couple of girlie paddles but loves it.
After we camped at a spot called Tiona just south of Forster in the Booti Booti National Park. It was here that i managed to use the yak for some fishing and got a good haul of Flathead , well actually Em caught 2 I caught 3, Grace the fishing nut didn't do so well but she did try hard.
Debs went on a bigger paddle and the wind was up with some chop about so she raced home as she had a bit of a scare (The Wus).
I had my first surf in 15yrs and it wasn't pretty at an awesome beach called Seal Rocks, Debs went for an ocean paddle and got cocky as she had thought she had got back to the beach safe through the surf, Then got slammed on the beach by a small wave , she had a huge lump on her head and lost her sunnies.......... it was funny though.
I went out to show her how to catch the waves and got slammed myself , This Yak is better for cruising and fishing than the surf:)
We then headed back into Laurieton for some flying and i managed to get some low flights and a OK one off of North Brother but no XC (cross country).
From there it was onto the Gold Coast for a course I am doing on share stuff via the Waterfall Way which ended up being a really long way round caught a heap of trout but all small.
Anyway here we are in Surfers paradise surrounded by high rises.Weather is great, thunderstorm last night perfect today.
Sorry about the wait
