Wednesday 18-5-22:

Woke up to rain this morning so sat in bed and finished processing Cave pics and posting them up.

Lots of Fungi around and the leaves are very colourful so it was a while before i got moving.

I had a look at the old bridge [closed] some picnic spots and the swimming pool [closed] on the way out of the park.

I stopped in at Stoney Creek Trestle Bridge for a look.
Pity they have to close it off with a big fence to get in the way of the pics.

I headed down to Lake Tyres which doesn't quite open to the sea ... you can see the breakers on the sand bar.

Then i headed out to Red Bluff for a look and spent the rest of the day there talking to a woman who was stuck there for a few day with a broken car.
She has the tow truck booked to pick her up and take her to the dealer a few days from now, ... still .... felt guilty leaving but she lives in her car and only needed a bit of water to get her through.

Went for a walk over the new bridge and along the old Tram line, you can see the remains of a log crossing, not sure if thats what it was named for ... can also see some of the old sleepers uncovered by the floods ...
and then ... Of course it is !!
