Today Don and I went on the Newcastle Express Train to Woy Woy. The train travels through the Hawksberry River area and sometimes quite close to the river itself. It was a pleasant day.
Fisherman's Wharf is where we had lunch of fish and chips. The fish is fresh
from the co-op and the only problem is that you get too much fish to eat!
It was interesting to see all the Pelicans around. I guess they were hanging out for
fresh fish from the boats that cam in to unload their catches.
We decided to walk up the river a bit and sit in the park alongside the river
and watch the gang-gangs digging the seeds and bulbs out of the ground.
They were quite tame and you could hand feed them.
The ducks were also feasting but they mostly ate the plumbs that someone
had thrown out to them
Sitting in the sun on the lawn was my kind of relaxation. It was a pity we couldn't
stay longer!
While we were there we watched this houseboat go by and try and turn.
It seems that he didn't have a lot of experience because he got stuck
on a mud flat. We had to leave before he got off so can't tell you what
eventually happened.
This is a trip I would definitely do again.
