BUSH WALKING

Here is our favourite lookout on top of the ridge that we call Panorama Point with a view over the vast valley in the Berowra Regional Park!

My husband Patrick and I try to walk in the bush everyday after work and do longer walks on weekends. We feel so grateful to have all this at our doorstep! This is a typical view on our bushwalk overlooking the valley.

There is a lovely river in the valley with waterfalls.

Peaceful paradise.

Leaves tumble in the pure water.

On the side of the trail we found a slab of sandstone covered in rainbow Turgite looking like a face of a gnome

complete with pointed hat and big ear!

Here is main Rainbow rock. Just lovely!

There is magic on the trail and we find many of these fairy ring concretions imbedded in circles of rock. They are iron or manganese formed around a nucleus in clay and sandstone and we are seeing a cross section. Still, I feel they are magical portals.Some have no central stone. They are all sizes and seem to appear and disappear mysteriously!

This area seems to love circles and even the grass grows in these wondrous ring patterns!

Many standing rocks balancing on each other often appeared lining the sides of the trail like magical presences!

Each one had a different character and was quite a mystery until one day we met the rock artist at work!

He said he just loves stones and enjoys creating them to enliven the trail! Wonderful!

We came across a strange rock that looked all molten dripping with red.

We were told that about 12 million years ago there were incursions of molten rock up into the sedimentary rock.

  The molten rock was often hollow and filled with gas. Because it worked its way through the rock and superheated it,

if there was iron in the rock it  melted into the igneous rock and it became extemely hard.

Over time the sedimentary rock went into the hollows and impacted on the igneous rock. 

In some cases the erosion wore away the sedimentary rock but the igneous rock,

particularly if coated in iron, was stronger and remained - creating these kinds of strange shapes.

This is inside the strange hollow rock which is a nice place to sit.

It feels very ancient.

Here is a close up to see the red colour.

Next to the strange red rock are these mysterious rock glyphs.

A gum tree has grown pouring itself into the rock.

Colours of sandstone meet rippling Red Gum.

We went on a trip to the Redwood forests in San Franscisco which was so completely different compared to the Australian bush.

Here is Patrick among the towering giants!

We lay on our backs and watched the heavens ringed by these ancient Wise ones!
