Australia Day

What more could we want, a great hot day, a BBQ and lots of r and r.  This morning there was Skype from Lucy and Henry and later in the day from Margaret who is learning to use it.   

$5 day

It was $5 for 2 seniors to travel to town and then back from Waverton.  We took food and drink and had lunch in Lavender Bay after we had crossed the bridge, walked around the pathway past Luna Park.  We should have stopped at McMahons Point but pressed on to Sawmillers Reserve and then some very steep street sections through to Waverton Park.  By this stage we had had enough and cut through the park up a few more steep climbs and on to Waverton Station. Approx 7 kms and a little of it was had work.  Was glad to get home.                                                           

Coogee to Bondi Beach walk with WEA Ramblers

My second walk with the Ramblers group was great even though the weather looked as if it could rain, but it held out.  There were 15 walkers all told with some joining in mid way and others leaving when the length of walk was enough for them.  Being along the beaches there is always public transport back to the city which is excellent.  Thery were 14 different people from the last walk and this time many more men.  One chap said he had been on many walks and its rare to meet previous walkers unless arranged as there are so many members. 

Louise's farewell

Louise got married in October to Wayne who lives in Tamworth and so now the time has come for her to move permanently north.  Nicholas starts school in Feb. so its packing time and they are off on Sunday.  Its sad in a way but happy that she starts her new life with Wayne.  John manned the BBQ and the steaks were cooked to perfection.  Everyone bought a specified dish and that made the day much easier.  Great day.

Watsons Bay cont.

Watsons Bay Wed 5th

I joined WEA Ramblers as I wanted to walk two three times a week.  Wednesdays walk was short as we caught a ferry to Watsons Bay then then a walk along beach areas and streets we reached Neilsen Park where we had lunch.  No one bought their swimming costume so after eating we returned to Watsons Bay ferry.  It was a great day weather wise and the group were a nice bunch.  Margaret came on too but she found it was a bit long so she will do some local walking before venturing on a longer one.
