Wattamolla

On the weekend Allan, Adelle and I went for a we stroll in the Royal. We started at wattamolla beach and headed south to a lovely rock pool and waterfall that is a few hundred meters up Curracurrong creek.

Eastern water-dragon (Physignathus lesueurii)
There were plenty of large eastern water-dragons around.

This one was quite friendly or thought it had found a giant grub to eat.

Bees

Had a few native bees on the feeble collection of weeds that grow on the balcony. Better than caterpillars at least.

Marley track

I did the Marley track twice last month once with Allan and once with Adelle, but it is a nice little walk so well worth the repeat. Deer pool would also be worth a visit in the warmer months.

Shanes park bogan retreat

Iain keeps dragging me out to Shane's park so often that I am getting the impression he like the place. Sadly we didn't do very well there as far as birds are concerned but that may have been due to the large number of people riding around on motorbikes.
