the last trip in the Prius

Well, the time had nearly come for the lease to end. So Keat and I headed off to Kanarga Walls for the day. We drove down a good road from Oberon to find a large number of cars and people at the lookout.

Unfortunately the view was somewhat obscured by the smoke from about three bush fires.

Going back into Oberon, we again saw that footpath. So this time I stopped and took a photo.

We then headed back into Oberon. Keat had gone there on family fishing trips when she was young.

We had missed lunch, so stopped in Oberon for afernoon tea.

And then had dinner back in Petersham at a Gloria's Portuguese Restaurant.

an exploration of Kurnell

Well, I suspect when anyone thinks of Kurnell, they think of oil refineries. But there is more to the place. It is also home to Royal National Park and some Nature Reserves.

Off the coast of the national park they have the inlet for the new desalination plant.

And then there is the town of Kurnell.

dhbc second ride

I went on the second bike ride with the dhbc. I have since joined. I was greatly improved after my previous ride and I actually managed a full lap of centennial park and did not crash with any other cyclists this time. I was very pleased with my improvement in fitness.
