Full Moon Fun...Super Moon 2012

I'm usually pretty tired from shooting at the end of the day but when my job cancelled for the afternoon, it was the perfect opportunity to head to the beach and wait for the super moon - the closest it has been to earth in 18 years! The kids were delighted. We had talked about it so I was glad to make it a reality for them.

 They frolicked in the warm autumn waters for a couple of hours. The sun had gone behind the hills and still no moon. I was beginning to worry that the headland might be too far out or that were in the completely wrong location when BAM, the giant moon peaked over the horizon.

OK kids, it's cold and dark but for the moonlight, I believe it's time to go home!!

There are more Super Moon images on my photography blog.

Things To Do In Sydney - Boating and Biscuiting

There is never a shortage of things to do in Sydney but when it is a glorious sunny Sydney day, there is nothing more spectacular than cruising down the waterways of one of the numerous National Parks. This day we were are at Ku-ring-gai National Park. This National Heritage listed park, a short drive north of Sydney, is 154 km²  (roughly 58 miles²  or a little smaller than Washington DC), much of which is only accessible by walking tracks or boating.


The park is a popular place for many favourite activities. There are 15km of Horse Riding trails and thousands of kilometres of Cycling trails as well as medium difficulty Mountain Bike tracks. Numerous Picnic and Barbequeing areas are scattered through the park for happy families, frolicking friends and romantic rendezvous.  


The sunken waterways of this magnificent park are probably one of it's most desirable assets for which you may Paddle Boat, Kayak,  Sail, or Motor Boat. We are the very lucky friends of a boat owner but there are also many organised tours if you are are so inclined, 





We put in at Apple Tree Bay

OK...this could be fun!

Our Skipper...Captain Visser!

It doesn't look far, but I tell you, even the big kids were hesitant!

It was time for Michelle to show us how it's done. She made it look easy but I guarantee you, it's not!!!!

We boated until the sun set which was one of the most glorious times I have spent in some time...
