A day walking along the Coastal Track in Royal National Park is always great. I joined Brian Everingham and his party for a walk to Eagle Rock and back from Wottamolla. Brian had organised he walk for the National Parks Association of NSW. As well as Brain and myself, the other walkers were Gary S, Gary L, Sue B, Sue W, Valerie, Esther, Ken and Chloe.
We had a magnificent day – the weather was great. We also saw a lot of wildlife – particularly birds and whales. And the wildflowers….
We set off from Wottamolla, and soon reached the rock platforms to the south. This was a fine place to observe the passing whales.
Also the New Holland Honeyeaters were quite active.
We continued on our way. The views were great along the newly re-routed track.
At Eagle Rock, we stopped for a break and to take photos.
Then we headed back. We stopped for lunch at Curracurrang.
A little further along a juvenile White-bellied Sea Eagle few past.
And some more birds –
It had been a great walk to a special part of the Park. Thanks to Brian for organising and leading the walk.
