On a nice sunny day, Detti and I headed off to Helensburgh, a bit south of Sydney, where there is some old train tunnels, quite beautiful.
The main one is well known for having glow worms inside.
But today, this was not the aim of our outing.

One can never get bored of this amazing display, this show that millions watch on their TVs, and hundred of thousands come to see live, from one of the many overcrowded view points in the harbour.
Rooftops, parks, balcony, boats, anywhere you can have a look at the fireworks, you will find people.
And once more, Peter and Aerial Film Australia have been commissioned to cover them from the sky. With the chopper from Sydney Helicopter, and Mark Harold piloting, we take off for this grandiose show of pyrotechny.

Detti and I took the opportunity of this nice weather weekend to go camping in the Blue Mountains and enjoy a nice walk, that goes through the Glow Worms Tunnel of Newnes. A very varied walk, with some views over the top of the eucalyptus trees, and some passage underground, in the man made former train tunnels, but also, if you know where to look, in some natural caves where a very small stream snakes around.

When I met Detti, and after exchanging texts for a few weeks, we finally got some common free time in our rather busy calendars, and we agreed on a first date. A walk along the shore, between Kurnel and Cronulla. This walk takes you along the cliff edge for a quite a while, among some bush vegetation, and ends up with a long walk on Cronulla beach, which is deceptively long.
Our 3rd anniversary approaching, we decided to do this walk again. And on this nice day, we left early, with a nice picnic packed, good footwear, and the perspective of a lovely day.
We started the walk by walking straight along the shore, at the bottom of the cliff, while the last time we walked the road as a starter. What a lovely place we discover! We are already planning to come back for sunrise (see next post). We spot (so far at the distance that it is only great in our imagination) a few whales passing by. But then, the cliff top is far less inviting than before, as a bushfire has burn all the bushes, and the landscape is rather barren.
So we turn back. Still a beautiful day, even is the walk got cut short.

Today, Belle, Detti and I are off to do a walk in the Heathcote National Park, a park that I have never explored before, but seems to be quite promizing, with the promises of beautiful water hole, rivers and the like.
And we are very happily swept away by how accessible it is, and yet how pristine and natural it is! Some very peaceful water hole, amazing trees, GYmea Lillies…
We will be back!

On our second (and alas last) day in the Blue Mountains, we had decided (a bad weather forecast helping us to reach that decision) that a visit to the famous Jenolan Cave could be a very nice place to show our international friends. We decided upon the River Cave, and we were not disappointed.

Penny having just come back from France with a little frog, she organized a weekend away in the Blue Mountains, and Detti Hemant and I were invited. We joined the fun, and had the surprise of an awesome welcome party at the AirBnB we were staying at: Birds. Plenty of birds, which came to us for a feed, and to the delight of our French guest, and our Indian flatmate.
Once we left the birdies to their day, we went for a short walk along side one of the many little stream that one can enjoy in the area, and came back some time later for some more bird watching.

This weekend, Detti, Hemant and I decided to go for a little hike and camp the night. The walk is only about 11km, and can easily be done in a day, but there are a few very nice spots to spend the night, so that is exactly what we did!

Today I decided to go on a small explore not too far from home. Just for a little while. Just to have some fun with some candles and my camera…

Aujourd’hui je me suis décidé a aller faire un petit tour en souterrain pas bien loin de chez moi. Pour pas bien longtemps. Juste pour m’amuser avec quelques bougies et mon appareil photo…
