Weekend escape - part 2

Continuing on our journey down south to the Sea Cliff Bridge, we pulled over to watch some hang gliders....this is literally a leap of faith!!

Unfortunately it was starting to cloud over a bit at this stage but it was an amazing sight!





You can just see the Sea Cliff Bridge in the background as it wraps itself around the cliffs, I wish the weather had been a bit clearer.




We watched this guy getting set to take off... then a slight panic as his cords were twisted...


untwisting...


nearly there....


just a hop, step and jump and off into the wild blue yonder...



would you do it?

Weekend escape - part 1

On the weekend we went for a drive down south of Sydney, through the national park heading towards the new Sea Cliff Bridge.... well it is a couple of years old now but I have been meaning to go down and try it out.


As we went through the national park we took a little detour to a little piece of paradise called Wattamolla. I have heard about this place for a long time so I was very happy to visit it. The weather was perfect, we have had such foul weather lately but this weekend the skies dazzled in their freshly washed brightness and we laughed as we tripped down the highways in a little red convertible......

I had heard it was beautiful but it was stunning, just on our door step and I had never visited it before, just a couple of hours south of home!










A waterhole one side and across the spit, the sea. Teenagers were taking advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and taking advantage of the bravado of youth by launching themselves off the cliff into the pool whilst adults looked on wistfully wandering whether the caution of age has robbed them of some of that unbridled fun!
