We rented some kayaks for the day to paddle around Newcastle island on a sunny day to maintain our tans. Our stop at the town center left us right in front of Trolls fish and chips, yep, they are on our top five list now.
Ammonite Falls
Another fun day. We drove to the trail head and started our trek, to find out that most of the trail isn't marked. Travelling on the most well worn path (mantracker style), ignoring all the side trails and maybe short cuts, to reach the falls. We almost missed them, they weren't marked , and the water was very low making the falls hard to hear. It required a hand over hand rappel down the slope on a conveniently placed rope to get to the lower pond. The "danger" sign was right there at the bottom.
We found a few obscure ammonites, but it was still a pretty location, even had a small (what else are there) trout in the pond.
Local fauna at the Marina
catching small fish of course
unusual blond raccoon's, well, as unusual as raccoon's can be
Heading home tomorrow (september 25) :-(
Maybe some camping, weather (Amy) dependent.
wow you shaved! and didn't get a mountain man tan - that is a pretty waterfall
ReplyDeleteand lot of cute fauna (bunnies and blondes..). I see that Amy got a great tan too!
I hope you blazed the trail and made it easier for her!
Great pic of you and Amy. Mom would love to see these pics.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a trek.... Love the hill especially. Have never even heard of a Blonde Raccoon before. Thanks for the picks. Take as much time as you can to enjoy the trip home. ;-)
