Day 100, Stanwell Park

Thursday...the weather did not cooperate but that did not stop Ally and I from going on an adventure to Stanwell Park.  It was about a half hour train ride from Fairy Meadow. 
These birds were plentiful in the area.  I mean I couldn't go anywhere without bumping into one.  They were really bold looking for food from us, however we didn't bring any.

It really is unfortunate that it was a cloudy day and rainy because every other time we have gone by this area the water is clear and gorgeous, you'll have to take my word for it.

Ally strolling along the beach.  I got the feeling this town is a summer town only where people can rent a house for a week or something like that.  Built right along the coast, it was really pretty.

I am not sure if this is a river that runs down from the mountain to the ocean or what  but when we got there it was blocked up by sand.  After twenty minutes of consistant rainfall, it made it carved a path through the sand to the ocean.

This is the underside of some cliffs.  I thought the rock formations were really interesting.

We found a baby cave along the way.  It sheltered us from the rain for a bit.


Further up the way there was this giant crevice that Ally and I explored.  The only thing we saw were these bugs that were transparent when you took a picture of them.  Really interesting little creatures.

Here we are waiting for the train.  We had my farewell CIEE dinner to attend, which was my study abroad group.  It was a lovely dinner that was free!  The people which run the program: Tonia and Wayne are wonderful and gracious.  They organized some wonderful events here in Australia that included Absesailing, learning how to surf, hiking mount Gulalaga,  among other things.  I owe them a great deal of gratitude!
oooooooooooooo yeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
