Narrabeen Lagoon Trail with L, L, L, L and J.



On this cool, but dry day the 3 siblings, and our partners, walked just over 9 km's around  Narrabeen Lagoon.



Videos have to be watched on this page.

Onto the home straight.

This friendly fellow just wanted to play.

Couldn't get much out of this fellow (I think he was 'stoned').




What's the point of growing up?





There were fossils.....

.....and a bare-bottomed fairy.

Looks like Lynn was just going to make it, and Lori and Lorraine were
still looking for that dropped 5 cent coin at the end of the walk

Bantry Bay & North Head




The Bantry Bay Explosives Magazine Complex is located in Garigal National Park and managed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. The Complex occupies an area of around 14 hectares on both the eastern and western shores of the bay and consists of numerous buildings, seawalls, tram lines, wharves, slipways, tracks, dams, and other above-surface remains as well as a number of archaeological sites. It is an important but little known part of the cultural, and natural, heritage of Sydney.


More photos from today can be seen at Rust, Relics & Ruins.
