A different day ahead. Starting with heads - had a haircut at a hairdresser on the way to the station. Lovely lady from Indonesia who has lived in more countries than I have
Was enough time for coffee before the train
Did the selfish to show the new cut. Dea loves curly hair and knows how to cut. How to remember her name - Drunk Every Afternoon
Train time - change over at Redfern for my train to Kiama. Was enough time to walk the streets around the station
Victorian terraces out the back of the station
No garden - put a chair on the street
Art school - turn off the TV - my house when news comes on
Autumn colours starting to shape up
Aboriginal style bollards outside the station with the big apartments on the other side of the track
View out the end of the platform to the old maintenance sheds on the west side of the tracks
Snapped from the train - Pacific National locos going by. My brother-in-law drives one of these but not in Sydney - hence the photo
2nd selfie for the day - fish and chips in Kiama on a stunning day. Plan from here - stop on Seven Mile Beach for a walk looking for a specific orchid
Going to be a mushroom day. This segment of bush is rainforest with not a lot growing under the canopy
Top end of Seven Mile Beach close in to Gerroa
Long view down the beach to Coolangatta Mountain
A new mushroom shape - looks like Mt Vesuvius - not seen these before
Side on - see a volcano inverted
Smaller version
So many mushroom types - deleted a lot too as photos were out of focus in low light
A good example - top down photo grabbed all the light. Underside is OK
This photo is a story of the rainforest. The core tree is a eucalyptus towering some 30 metres. Growing outside it is a Moreton Bay fig - both are doing OK for now. The eucalyptus will die
Native violet always found here
A whole tree full of mushrooms - oyster mushrooms perhaps
Right on the track was this mushroom standing 2 inches tall
Mini mushroom in red
The only orchids found - guessing a nodding greenhood. The forest floor is too damp for orchids to prosper - have learned this from further along this track
This mushroom is almost wafer thin - top down photo was not good - deleted it
Wavy edge mushroom
The mushroom journey starts with this bullet shape to push through the ground. Then they will flatten out as they grow taller
Fungal form is the ultimate photo challenge. Dud not have the patience to adjust setting to do a manual photo - the sun behind was intense to deal with
A different form of wavy edges. So the walk became a mushroom walk. Going to guess I saw at least 30 types - photographed 15 and deleted half.
Was good to get back to Shoalhaven Heads. Doing the out and back to Sydney over two days is a lot easier. Taking my computer worked too. As for meal planning - bought a little to leave in Gordon for next week visit and brought fruit back with me. Next time I will stop at one of the stations in Royal National Park to walk there (depending on rain forecast)
Chose to cook BBQ to continue the outdoor feel for the day
