Glow worm cave

The Natural Arch, picture doesn't do justice to it: a quick visit while dropping by to see Warren & Clare (hang gliding friends) who live now in Helensville. Off to Brisbane now...

Woody Head Rocks in the evening

Lots of little holes in the rocks, currents throwing stones around have made big rock-pools and lots of small dents in larger rocks like these...

Day 12 - destination Woody Head

Fascinating day, leaving Hat Hill via Southwest Rocks to Trial Bay Gaol Ruins - very interesting history. During WW1 over 500 German-born Australians were rounded up and interred here until after the end of the war when most were returned against their wishes to Germany.


The 'enemy within'. Next we visited Smoky Cape lighthouse, then headed north to Woody Head, a gorgeous spot with the


best rock pool life i have seen since i was a kid - apart from all the usual stuff there were sea cucumbers, octopi, Sea slugs, and urchins.

Location:Woody Head

On the way to Aspley Falls

There used to be a river crossing here, to access the long walk around the falls; unfortunately it has been washed away. Will be put back, but for now, can't do the long walk. (Not that we were going to!)

Day 11 - waterfalls and beaches

A great couple of days, making our way down from Keepit to the coast and up to Hat Head (yes that is the name of the beach!)

Just after Tamworth we stopped to checkout Moonbi lookout (see photo) then headed via Walcha and stopped overnight at Aspley falls - very spectacular.

This morning it was off to Port Macquarie, then up the coast to Hat Head where we are now.
