Sydney was experiencing a period of very windy weather which made it unpleasant to be outdoors in exposed places. But on the other hand, it provided some spectacular seas. I was keen to be out in the bush but not particularly in the wind. I thought that a walk out to Cape Banks from La Perouse would be good – a lot of the walk is in very sheltered forest and then it would also provide some opportunities to perhaps see some big waves hitting the cliffs near the Cape.
I caught a bus to La Perouse, and then starts walking out to Cape Henry. This part of the walk was sheltered and I was even able to photograph some birds.
Further out past Cape Henry with its old WWII fortifications, it was indeed very windy. I was surprised to see some dedicated golfers out hitting their balls in the blustery conditions.

The seas was certainly very powerful near Cape Banks. It was hard to sit still bracing the camera trying to photograph the waves crashing into the sea cliffs.
I did not spend a long time at the Cape. Too windy! I soon headed back to Cape Henry, where I found nice sheltered and sunny place for lunch. And from there it was not far back to the bus stop.
