Got a different day lined up. Bring together a sunny day, a day off work and cheap transport. Catch the train to have lunch in the water

alt

Changed trains at this station - big smoke over hazard reduction burn where I was hoping to walk on the way back

alt

Target - Brooklyn on the Hawkesbury River - walked down to different cafe for lunch - not the pub this time

alt

Did the Google work on ferry services from here. In the old days we used to cycle down here and get a ferry to Patonga and ride the long way home. No longer possible - ferry services are local only

Had our lunch in a busy cafe - food was simple and well done

alt

Walked a long way along the waterfront - nice track and plenty picnic spots. Perfect for the last few days of the school holidays

alt

The young lads were busy fishing

alt

Walked up to the village - pub shot

alt

A couple of old sandstone homes

alt

One is for sale

alt

Some reno work across the valley - two houses with scaffolding. Normally I would walk up that way to find orchids. A bit warm for that

alt

A characteristic of sandstone cliffs - Moreton Bay figs - amazing root forms

alt

Small house now a museum

alt

View down to platform

alt

A bit of a wait - good chance to get shots across the low tide water with looming clouds

alt

A bit of history on the bridge - the old and the new. The new built in 1946

alt

Just caught a glimpse of locos on the coal train heading north. SSR locos

alt

Always like a platform on a curve

alt

Waiting for the next train. Too bad the old station buildings have all been updated to red brick - maybe 50 years ago

Was good to do something different all for $2.50 travel cost

Did cook dinner for a friend

alt

Working on PF Chang sticky beef recipe - marinating the eye fillet

alt

The next step shows the saice was sticky BUT the Beef was not crispy like the recipe said . Not a problem - worked just fine
