We are having one last walk down the road.
This time it was hot with lots of flies.
The cows and horses were in a different paddock, but we did meet some new friends – two friendly farm dogs.
By mid-morning, the fog was long gone.
We took a walk upstream along the unsealed local road to view the rapids.
There were lots of weeds roadside – blackberry and lantana bushes, and thistles.
When we came out into the clear, we saw how far we’d come, and how steep the hill was.
We noticed that some of the trees on the hill side were a copper colour. Hubby thought they were deciduous, but I thought that a bush fire came through not so long ago.
When we emerged from the bush we were greeted by these views.
Below, Bundanoon Creek carves through the landscape towards the Shoalhaven River. I was surprised that the Shoalhaven River catchment stretched right up to these parts. The mouth of the Shoalhaven is all the way at Nowra (not too far away from Gerroa). I was to find out that the catchment area is very big indeed.
