Sunday, 27 May, Russ and I set out around 7am for the 1.5 hour journey to Sutherland and Royal NAtional Park, to check out camping spots around Bundeena. This is the view towards our destination, some way up the Hacking River.
Burraneer Bay is home to some wonderful real estate, and the houses above are quite nice too.
It was pleasant for a late Autumn day. Water temperature was cool but conditions were perfect for peddling.
There was a gusty breeze that whipped up a chop and some spray but my forehead hand served as an effective wind block.
We were headed for Audley weir and managed about half the distance.
We passed several substantial dwellings in the Park and plenty of walkers and fellow paddlers.
An awful photo (thanks Russ!) but it does show the action used with the Hobie's penguin or Mirage Drive. Almost 3 hours with no real fatigue.
We paused on our upstream paddle in this quiet cove. Could have stayed longer.
Port Hacking is shallow and the channel narrow and variable. Port Jackson it ain't!
Safely negotiated the Maianbar break!
The crew appreciated the hot showers and BBQs provided by NPWS.
We went for a walk to Maianbar township and passed some beach shacks along the way.
Russ was interested in this gullwing toyota.
While I snapped the mangrove swamp with my hand-me-down iPhone.
Remember the movie the Iron Giant? Looks like he's back!
Some people have got less sense than ....?
I hope to return to Bundeena but the river is accessible from Lilli Pillli and other points so who knows??
Location:Bundeena, NSW
