A few new views.

Fine winter's days have been a bit sporadic of late. As we write this , it is another drizzly Sunday outside but last week was a rare opportunity to get the shorts on and the walking boots as we headed down to Green point for a walk lakeside from Belmont to Valentine. Here we are checking out the local map and info about the nature to be found there. Not much chance of seeing the wedgetail eagle John & Lisa saw last time though due to noisy voices in tow!



Enjoying the view across to Swansea and Wangi point. Well Iwas anyway, John and Lisa just wondered if Tina ever stops taking photos



The trees coming right up to the shoreline made a nice landscape.



Coffee & cake with the pelican was a well earned reward at the end of a hike. Not sure if a 50 minute walk counts as a hike but it does in Chappell terms. We're not great walkers but this was a pleasant one.


Meanwhile a 100km South of here was where we ended up at the end of our Reptile Park adventure. The place is called Patonga and apart from being at the end of a penisula looking out to Brisbane Water (nowhere near Brisbane) it also seemed to be where the rainbows end too. No crock of Gold but very nice fish and chips.
