Day twenty three

Just about halfway through our little break now.  Last night there was a wonderful moon, with an ocean liner cruising past

Today James and Grace drove us to Kur-ing-gai National Park, about an hour North of Sydney.   We took a circular walk which took us by several Aborigine sites, rock carvings and a dwelling site.  It was a hot day and the birds were mainly taking a nap but there were flora and a few fauna too. 

The path was rather up and down, it mainly down.

Our walk took us down to Resolute Bay

James and Grace swim while Kate and I sat in the shade and watched.

This guy wandered over to check us out, he was about two feet long.

We drove back via Akuna Bay where we ate our packed lunch and drank cold drinks, watched by several Kookaburras
