Yesterday was a nice day to hope on the bike and ride the 40km down to Cape Solander at Kurnell and look for a few whales.
The ride down there from my place is pleasant – along the Cooks River and then along Botany Bay to Captain Cook Bridge – all on off road cycleway. Then through a few backstreets of Taren Point to regain the cycleway along the foreshores to Shark Park. Then easy riding to Kurnell and a last bit of uphill to Cape Solander and great views from the cliffs.
I took camera gear and binoculars with me. There were plenty of whales swimming past – but they were all a bit shy – staying a long way out and mostly underwater. There were lots and lots of people around also looking for whales.
A cold wind was blowing all the time. Despite this, I managed to stayed a couple of hours but did not get any good photos. Next time perhaps?
