Just a few hours from Sydney. Canyons. Water falls. Sturdy wooden walkways in luxurious forests. Plenty of information notices. A Skyway ride over a massive gorge. Cable way ride. A ride up and down the steepest reticular railway in the world (52°). A large shop and restaurant with a viewing platform hanging over the void. Very cold when we went in June but this did not detract one bit from an exhilarating experience. Enjoy the 12 pictures. (Pictures P,J, L and M Bartels). Please scroll down.
There is treasure in Manly, an Australian coastal town close to Sydney. You can find the treasures along the waterfront path that joins Manly Beach to Shelly Beach. The treasures consist of sculptures of sea creatures attached to the rock face next to the path. Don’t miss a walk along the path if you are lucky enough to visit gorgeous Manly. Here are some pictures of just some of the sculptures. Please scroll down. There are 6 pictures. Enjoy.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures. Make sure you put Manly on your bucket list now.
How beautifully made is the caterpillar! Prof. Google tells me there are around 4000 muscles in a caterpillar. The Creator of the caterpillar must be really smart! And us humans? Prof G says we have only about 650 muscles. Click here. To God be the glory.
At the airport in Baltimore in the USA there are beautiful statues of birds flying in formation. In Port Elizabeth in the Walmer Park Shopping Mall, next to the main lift, there are similar displays of flying birds. Also beautiful.

According to Wikipedia 42 million people visited the Park in 2016 and it is one of the most photographed places in the world. This picture was taken while boating on the lake. Look at the tranquil reflections of the sky scrapers in the calm water. The tall buildings are stretching up to touch magnificent clouds.
Where is the Park? The answer is below the picture. Please scroll down.
Thank you to my grandson MB for the beautiful picture.
