Did enjoy a night sleep without being woken up with noise from the apartment above. Sure looking forward to living in one place. Did the drive into Nowra to do a few chores - like buying prawns for dinner

alt

Stopped at Two Figs Winery to pick up the quarterly wine pack. Decided to have an ad hoc wine tasting and to taste the new gin. Framed photo does not capture how strong the wind was

alt

The palm outside cellar door has produced a fruit

alt

View down across Shoalhaven River - wind has eased off. No excuse when I got home - get on the bike

alt

New signage on South Beach Access road- no camping or sleeping in vehicles - about time. Next step is to lock the gate at sunset. Not hard to automate with solar and a battery

alt

Was very windy - did find dipodium variegatum flowering - a bit windy for good photos

alt

Flowers unfolding - spots clear on the pedicels - the bit that attaches stalk to flower

alt

This caterpillar has chomped though an orchid spike - chose not to relocate it - damage is done. Best leave it here

alt

Native violet for my granddaughter Violette

alt

New signage deep in the NP. The track is 2 kms into the National Park - everyone knows no dogs allowed. Yet there are signs like this - have sure seen dogs in the cars. People do not give a shit

alt

Echidna walked right up close - was not fussed about me. They normally crouch down

alt

Big wind has dropped off - calm view looking north to Gerroa

alt

And south to Shoalhaven Heads and beyond

alt

Sure pleased I put the wind away and went riding

Cooked dinner for friends - roast chicken, butterflied prawns - potatoes and some veges. Nice dinner sitting outside on a fab evening
