12/5/22 Lane Cove NP

 

    After spending some days in Wollongong with friends , catching up with other family members and staying out of the rain , we head to Sydney - and it's raining again ! Rain followed us up the mountain and nearly to Campbelltown before it stopped - thankfully - for our run into Lane Cove .

   Getting set up on site was interesting , I thought we were going to sink into the mud . The rain eased , then stopped so we went for a walk around the park . Fortunately for us there was bitumen roads throughout the park .



   We had a visit from my niece Melissa , David & Ethan , an enjoyable morning was had by all . After lunch we headed out for another walk , this time into the National Park . This photo is looking over the Lane Cove River .


                                     We like Scribbly Gum , and there's plenty here .

  
                                                    Plenty of rainbow lorikeets as well


    Still plenty of water lying around on the tracks .



      Wattle is starting to flower .


     Sydney Redgums & scribbly gums are prolific here - it's a beautiful section of the park .


    Moss is growing well on the rocks .


    The colours of the trees are beautiful as well .


   I like this silhouette , but it's a shame that it's a Privet bush .


          Vines are growing well , making a contrast with the other ferns & plants .


                                            Tree ferns are about 8m tall and 5-6m wide .


    Sunday came and we attended a birthday party at North Ryde - about 10mins away . Colin turned 80 during the week , and we were invited to celebrate with about 50 others . It was another opportunity to catch up with some of the people we have met with Colin & Suzie over the years , a big thank you to them for our invitation . 
    Monday rolled around and we headed north , making our way to Maitland for a couple of days to catch up with my uncle , then heading further up the road to do more catching up with family & friends . 
   That's it for the moment , more to come , Cheers .
