Australia & New Zealand - Day 60 - 25th July

Day 60


A cracking morning today.  Waited for Jason the builder to arrive before going to the coast for the day.

I headed down to Dee Why to visit the lagoon which I had no idea about until recently.  Despite going to Dee Why on a number of occasions, I did not know of the existence of this place only a mile or so further along the coast.

The area consists of a managed area of bush land surrounding the lagoon.  The bush is looked after by volunteers who have recreated original plant life of the area to try to encourage the return of indigenous animal types.

Here you see the bush surrounding the lagoon
























































The lagoon shows signs of there once having been a jetty of some sort there. It then extends to the sea and leaves the bush for sand dunes.

Nearing the sand dunes
A path cut between the sand dunes led to the north end of the beach. Quiet and secluded, completely different to the south end.

I then made my way to the Onshore for lunch before watching the surfers off the main Beach.

Yes, that's me 
Then it was back to the house to see how Jason had been getting on with the works.
