The weekend

Well it was a moderately productive weekend.
Went for a cycle to botany on Saturday and got to sample the lovely aroma of jet exhaust from the airport. Did see lots of birds though strangely enough, including some lovely red rumped parrots.
Then on sunday went wandering from woywoy to point clare on the central coast. The walk is pretty straight forward and only 10 km of pretty flat fire trail that could be done in a few hours if you wanted. Didn't see much apart from lots of feral kids a few fish and a couple of noisy miners. Still anything is better than spending the day rotting away in marrickville.

Cycling to olympic park.

Decided to go for a cycle on the weekend and found a nice little track not far from the flat where it's possible to cycle nearly all the way to the Sydney Olympic park without going on the road. Unfortunately its nearly 50 kms all up so the legs were hurting by the end of it.
There was a good amount of birdlife, including quite a few grey butcher birds.
