Shoalhaven River on the edge : June 17 2024

avatar

Was really windy night. Was up in the dark hours closing the doors under the house. Rained on and off a fair bit in the morning - kept me inside working up the weekly investing post

Did get out on the bike to ride down to the river. Wanted to see if the river had opened to the sea

Photos show the amount of timber that came down in the floods. The whole sand area on the edge of the river is not safely walkable. View back to Coolangatta Mountain

View across to the island - not walkable today

A few banksia flowering

The view to flathead corner - going to guess the channel the fish like will still be deep enough

The loop around where the river would flow if it was open. A great driftwood picking spot

View down to Point Perpendicular - looks like the river did join the sea at the last high tide

Huge sea eagle flew across the front - too far to get a good photo - even when it stopped for a rest

Timber is where the river got to last time - the waves are crashing just over the other side. Notice the little terns scurrying around the edges of where the water came. Food is there

Seagulls active between the two

View back to the mountain into the
dipping sun

Looking north to Gerroa

Waves tried hard to reach the river - 20 paces it was. Brings the sand with it. Maybe next high tide there will be a river

Distant rainbow over the timber debris

Surprised to find one flower open - well past its season - leptospermum squarrosum

Not expecting to find this flowering in the bush - Indian hemp

Last photo of the mountain on the way back.

They are building a new bike path along River Road - includes new signage to the Botanic Garden

Good to be out on the bike after the rainy times

Dinner. My wife cooked osso bucco. I made mash. Nice to have a night off cooking.

Trade action: With Europe stocks getting smashed by the EU Parliament election and an early French election, kicked the can down the road on a few sold put on European Banks

Wow the rains pushed half the forest inland down to river mouth, nice wood for those who use it on open fire cooking (braai) once dried out.

Banksia so beautiful in full bloom always find them stunning, much like our Protea family. Fascinating is that they all originated in North Africa. Hemp plant similar to the Wild Dagga of South Africa.

In time a man and a bakkie and a chain saw will clear all that timber

The hemp caught my eye as have not seen it here but remember it as a kid in Joburg

However collects all that wood can sell of making a fair amount for a little hard work.

It is a striking flower to see when out, like the Gloriosa Superba Red - Flame Lily we noticed on a dune a couple of years back, must have been washed down with floods in months earlier.
