Following Gregory Street
Smart idea……a drive thru beer stop
Home Made Meat Pies – popular in Australia
A former hospital/turned condos
Castle Hill – 945 feet high
Queens Gardens
A perfect place to enjoy the shade
Certainly not crowded
Many trees of Australia
A massive fig tree, planted in the late 1800's
Taking in the view
That's what we call leaves
Blossom
A shrimp plant
Manicured grounds
Pink ginger
Following the path
California has some of the same flora
Games chickens
Wild turkey
Indian runner ducks
Palms
Queens Park – open field
Found some unusual trees
Look at this seed pod
These littered the ground
Red-tailed black cockatoo
Dining on the nuts in this tree
Strong beaks
Beach with netted swimming
The largest crow-like bird we saw
Fishing jetty
Beautiful water
Too bad it contains dangerous jellyfish
Fishing jetty
We were told that a 15 foot croc was removed from this beach recently
Great place to fish
Local fisher
Mary Ann liking the shade
Flowers love the heat
So much beach, no swimming
Even too hot for sunbathing
A young black cockatoo
Working on those nuts
Beaks are so strong, they can severe a finger
Tame birds
No enemies
The Rock Pool
Jellyfish-resistant
Lawn above the pond
This pond is actually filtered
Fishing nearby
Great view from this point
Cliffs of Kissing Point
Inviting for those who came prepared
Like her…..the dog liked it too
Jezzine Barracks – military site
Military grounds
Café/hotel at the end of the Strand
Condos on the ride back
The former hospital/turned condos
Back to downtown
The train station
Downtown
Locals out for the day
Many fountains everywhere
Bridge over the Ross Creek
Amsterdam docked
