Sunday Meanderings
I took the boat out for a run today and dragged a Stumpjumper lure around for an hour or so with no results. Then I tried a 2.0 hook and some cheese . . . nothing. Soft plastic . . . same. Came across some patches of fish on the fish finder but no luck jagging any. The lake was flat and the sun was warm and it was fun just to go for a run anyway.

Flinders Ranges Part III
On the first section of Sky Trek, as mentioned in Flinders Ranges Part II, all you really need is the ground clearance of a 4WD. That is until you start ascending the mountain range where you need a proper 4WD with low range to tackle as the terrain is very steep in places. Sky Trek is a 60km loop where you will find yourself using low range more often than not in the final 30km as you traverse up and down the ranges. In terms of scenery and some of the best 4WD driving the Flinders Ranges ranks right up there with some of the best 4WD destinations in the country and Sky Trek is the most famous of several private property tracks that will get you views and experiences you will not get in the National Park alone. From the top of Mount Caernarvon Trig Point you get the best perspective of the Flinders Ranges and an almost birds eye view of Wilpena Pound from this vantage point.

Flinders Ranges Part II
Skytrek is a 4WD self drive tour on Willow Springs Station Flinders Ranges in South Australia. Willow Springs Station is located around 450km north of Adelaide, or just over 1000km from Bendigo Victoria. This trek takes approximately 6 hours and is an exhilarating 4WD experience that takes you up to Mount Caernarvon, at 921 Metres its the highest points of vehicle access in the Flinders Ranges. The track starts fairly sedately through huge Red River Gum lined creek beds, aboriginal etchings, groves of native pines and black oak and bluebush plains in the mountain valleys. There are plenty of historic points of interest along the way like windmills, mustering yards and an old shepherd's hut.

Flinders Ranges Part I
The Flinders Ranges and Wilpena Pound are located in South Australia around 450km north of Adelaide, or just over 1000km from Bendigo Victoria. The first day here we went to see the ranges from Moralana Scenic Road. A 130km round trip from Hawker up the Wilpena (Binman) Rd to the Moralana track, an easy outback red dust track except for some creek crossings. It skirts along the South and West side of Wilpena Pound across to Barndioota (Parachilna) Rd where we circled back to Hawker.

Manly and the Wormhole
Manly is just 20 minutes from Sydney’s CBD and sits on a peninsula surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean and Sydney Harbour. Manly was so named after the confidence and ‘manly behaviour’ displayed by a group of local Aborigines in Manly Cove by Australia’s first Governor, Captain Arthur Phillip in 1788. Freshwater Beach is the first beach North of Manly on the Peninsular. Harbord was renamed Freshwater in January 2008. There is a tunnel linking Manly and Freshwater beaches which was built and blasted out by some of the Freshwater locals and fishermen. Manly and Freshwater are now connected though the sandstone headland by the cave and a rough walkway. The pathway requires a bit of mild climbing ability but if you are steady on your feet its an easy journey. Source.

Sculpture by the Sea
The 13th annual Sculpture by the Sea exhibition at Bondi 2009 is on from 29 October - 15 November 2009. The Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk has over 100 sculptures along this popular path. Again while I took my 11-16 Tokina Wide Angle I found the natural aspect of the Nikkor 32mm gave me more pleasing results.
