I had a quick trip south of Sydney today to a place called Wollongong, although we didn’t venture into the city. Instead we stopped of at a great pub for lunch and had a drive over the Sea Cliff Bridge, which can be seen if you look reaaaally closely in the below image.
It was a great drive, however it was sad to see so much of the bush around us black from fires. It really shows what challenge firefighters have to contain a wildfire, as well as how easy it is to set one.
There were some pretty nice cars along the journey, with some pretty happy dogs inside them.
Lunch with a view.
What are you doing this weekend? Let me know, and have a great one!
Sam
Great pictures!
I am currently attending an Aiesec summit for young people!!
Thank you! I hope you are well.
Sounds interesting! Where is the summit?
In Nairobi Kenya😀😀!
Awesome, I hope you are enjoying it!
Looks amazing!
This weekend I am at home in dreary London, feeling nostalgic about earlier days travelling in sunny places!
I have heard from a few businessmen in the hotel I work at that they are heading back to some pretty cold weather in London… Must be interesting to travel between two seasons in such a short space of time! I hope the weather picks up a little for you 🙂
Whoa, there’s a blast from the past! I used to live there, many years ago. My Mum was pregnant with my Sister whilst we were living there, and Sis was delivered in Sydney. The year was 1968, so l am figuring it has changed enormously since then 🙂
Cool! I bet it has, although being so new to the area I would have little idea of those changes! It would be nice for you to see the changes for yourself, I bet it is fascinating.
It’s great to know that you lived here!
Great picture of the coast right there !
Such a beautiful place, I took a good amount of time to take it in! Thanks 🙂
Great post.
Thank you!
My pleasure,Sam!
Wow that place looks beautiful! I plan to do everything I enjoy doing as I have a long weekend🎉🎊
Lucky you! I hope you have fun 🙂
I am:)
Looks stunning there!
It really is, and a nice unexpected surprise on the drive! I enjoyed stopping and taking in the view.
The views you see from your drive are stunningly beautiful.
They really are. I would love to do it again!
Looks and sounds lovely. Are the bush fires always set by someone? I though they sometimes happened spontaneously. My weekend is the same as every other day: feed twin babies, repeat, repeat, repeat…
I asked my friend, she said they often are but it could be something like a dropped cigarette, so they aren’t always intentional… sometimes just carelessness. They could well start naturally I guess, although I will have to look into it 🙂
And Twins! You’re working double time haha. I’m sure your hands are full but I hope you have a great weekend!
Beautiful scenery, & yes, I know about wildfires all too well!
Watching the winter olympics.
Haha I know you do!
I was watching earlier yesterday actually, Canada have some good athletes in the winter games I’m sure.
Yup, doing well in curling, ice skating, & got silver & bronze in snowboard, so far.
Those views are spectacular! This weekend I will be visiting the South Texas Botanical Gardens. I’ve never been, but have heard good things. I look forward to finding out!
Let me know what you think! Every time I hear of Texas I get nostalgic.. I miss the Lone Star State 🙂
As a man who currently lives in the winter, I’m envy with the sun and chill vibes.
Where are you? When I’m back home I enjoy the thought of summer… But admittedly when I’m in high humidity I do think what it would be like to be walking in the snow like my friends back home haha. Although today, I’m grateful for the lovely weather we have here in Sydney.
I’m in Tokyo, it’s currently in the peek of winter here and all I can think is Summer Summer Summer or Bali Bali Bali haha
Just keep thinking of it… It will here before you know it 🙂
Japanese winters look pretty intense too, I have seen the snow you get over there!
It’s so beautiful
I’m glad you like the photo 🙂 it’s a lovely place!
The photos are great, it just amazes me that places like this exist. Beautiful
