That Pillow Lava fascinates me with its different shapes.

Image


The Chevron Folds in Kangaroo Rock also fascinate me.

I tried starting MissRed and she fired up no problems but i don't trust the starter so i drove over to Australia Rock and left her running while i grabbed a couple of pics.

Image

Image

I headed to the Auto Elecs and booked her in as its raining often and likely for the next few days and i dont want to lay in the mud to change the starter ... plus i'm too lazy.
I headed back to the Cemetery and parked on the hill then walked to the other end of Narooma Surf Beach for a look.

Wednesday 11-5-22:

I have a sleep in today as it was very overcast with occasional showers.
I decided to take a pic of my thigh to see how the damage from my fall last week is going, its still sore to lie on but not too bad other wise.


Image

Image

At 8:15 i headed to Narooma Auto Electrics and they fitted my Starter Motor for me, was worth it for me to get them to do it so i didn't get all greasy and muddy ... starts beaut now so i'm happy with shelling out $160 .

I moseyed on down the highway not stopping much as the weather was pretty dull although i did stop at Wallaga Lake at the small wooden bridge and long narrow strip of land joining it.

I drove down to Camel Rock for a look then walked up the beach at low tide to Horse Head Rock ... thats a bit of a mission scrambling over the jumbled rocks.

After getting plenty of pics of Horse Head Rock i continued up the beach and climbed the cliff face.
It is clay, wet and steep so a bit harrowing but i obviously made it and walked back along the cliff top walk.

I dropped in to Bermagui at the remains of the Steamer Wharf.

Image

Image

Then had a look at the water tower.

Image

Also went to have a look at Blue Pool but it was closed for construction.

Image

I had a stop in Tathra at Chamberlain Lookout.

Image

Image

Then drove down past Pambular and pulled up at Haycock Point.

Thursday 12-5-22:

Woke up and weather was pretty crap.

Image

I moved MissRed under some trees and watched Netflix for a few hours until the rain eased off and then i headed out along the headland track to Haycock Point to have a look at the "Haystack".

I tried to get out to "The Haystack" but one lone channel stopped me ... it had a wave crashing through from the left then a few seconds later a wave would crash through from the right ... and it was dead low tide so even if i did manage to get across i might not get back.

Image

Image

I headed back along the beach to the Ute and headed off.
