Today I went bushwalking on the central coast. I went with this adventure social club that I found. It was great! It was everything I love wrapped into one. Hiking, bush, beach, and great views. It turned out that there was only four of us including the guide, but it was great anyway. I will be doing more events with them before I go I hope. I took the train to Wyee, which all together is about 3ish hours from my house. I didn't mind though, it was an okay train ride. Lots of things to look at once you get out of the city and suburbs. The guide picked me up at the train station, and there it was another 20 minutes or so driving to the
meeting site. We met at Frazer beach. The beaches here are just awesome! The sand and the clear water just paint such a picture, that you can't help but love it. The bushwalk went from Frazer beach to Moonee beach, which is about 8km there and back. So it wasn't too long, but we took our time and explored around as we walked. The area we were in was hilly and there were many good views out onto the water. We also went down to a few beaches along the way. It was so nice to see the sandy beaches and big cliffs. It really was a wonderful experience. It was also such a nice day for it. It wasn't too hot, and it stayed cloudy so the sun wasn't beating down on us. As we walked I got to see different types of plants that are native to
Australia, including one that will only regenerate when there are bush fires. It holds it's seeds in a pod until there is a fire and then it busts open and drops all it's seeds into the fertile ash. It is funny how this adapt to their surroundings. For example we had some apples and oranges to eat and Dean (the guide) passed around a bag to put our garbage in. I asked him why we wouldn't just leave it seeing as all the fruit peels would break down. He told me that the plants around there were so used to the low nurtient level in the soil, and that they have adapted to flourish in that environment that if we left the fruit there then it would break down but it would throw the plants out of whack because of the added nutrients. We walked through some bush trails, we
walked along the beaches, we ate lunch in the sand dunes, and explored a rock tunnel through a cliff. It really was one hell of an experience that I am so glad I got to have. Dean was a bit of a super dork, but hey, to each their own I guess. I am keeping this entry short because I am soooo tired and really want to go to bed, but please check out my pics tomorrow after I put them up. Work tomorrow, then Australia day on Tuesday! Whoop........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz nighty night!
