I was planning to go fishing but the weather wasn't favourable to say the least so, instead of that I started heading for home in N.S.W. when I saw a sign; "Lonely Bay Walk". I figured, what else was I doing and so I turned off and went to see what the sign was all about. I parked the motorhome in what looked the likely spot and headed off into the bush, anticipating that the bay might in fact be a surf beach.
Well, I got that all wrong as it was, in fact, a seaboard lake with an occasional exit to the ocean. Still, it was a pleasant stroll and after a few hundred metres I reached a narrow inlet featuring many dead trees either side before the bay opened up about a kilometre further on. Views across the water revealed fenced paddocks and a town towards the ocean though it was strictly wilderness on the northern side.
I chose to shoot landscapes on the way out and animals on the way back.
After a few kms imagine my surprise when I reached a larger carpark with tables and toilets. It was here I decided to head back.
In trying to shoot birds I had little success but the cicadas were very accommodating. One came out of a tree and landed on a fern right next to me and, while I was looking for birds elsewhere I leaned on a tree and felt a buzzing at my side.
Eventually I also shot some birds so it was a rewarding morning. Hope you enjoy the pics.
