Walk to Resolute Beach (West Head) with Elna

Elna bought a book of the best and most remote swimming spots in Sydney. She is planning to explore them all if she can.  She asked me to join me on an adventure to the first one on the list: Resolute Beach.  The walk in was lovely, taking about 30 minutes, through pristine bush. The beach itself was gorgeous too, with beautiful blue sea and some nice sculptured rocks. We had a lovely swim. Hopefully I will join her on lots more of her outings as she ticks down the list.

West Head

A glorious afternoon out with Srini and Kate at West Head. I did this shortish hike in 2011, great to do it again.  The highlight was a swim in the sea; the perfect temperature.

Hike to Flint and Steel Beach (Kuring Gai National Park)

Inspired by Andreas and Ingrid's visit, I decided to do this hike myself.  And I'm really glad I did.  The beach is secluded and tranquil with beautiful colours in the rocks, especially at dusk.  Well worth the somewhat steep climb back out again.

I took my 400 mm lens with me as an afterthought and am glad I did as some of the local birds put on a good show.
