After driving for almost 15 hours from NYC, i arrived at Botany Bay on time for Sunset. After taking a turn on to a unpaved road from SC 174, canopy of trees brought much needed energy for me continue the drive towards the plantation. After traveling for couple of miles, another turn led me to the information kiosk. I did not check for days or hours of operation, but i was lucky to go there on a non-hunting day. This 4000 acre wildlife management area offers lot of photo opportunities for folks who likes nature and bird photography. But my primary focus was on Boneyard beach, a beach known for dead trees caused by erosion.
Arrived at the parking lot designated for beach access after 5 min drive from the main gate and started a hike on a marked trail towards the beach. After passing through marsh lands and a set of dense trees, i was amazed to see the trees stranded in the ocean with nice sunset hues.
I was the only person on the beach and walked another quarter mile to find a right spot to take some photographs. I was expecting some wave action but unfortunately i went there during low tide. The sun was already set and with light fading away quickly i could not try multiple compositions rather stuck at same place trying to get a better photograph with available light. Not sure about the photograph but the trip was worth it.

With the Kelloggs cereal factory looming over them, VL351 and DL47 lead T171 trip train out of Botany Yard, bound for Sandown. At Sandown the remaining empty wagons will be loaded with empty containers, the locos will draw the train clear of the yard and wait for T185 to shunt and load with empty containers before the two rakes would combine to form 1877 to Dubbo.
Fast forward to present day. Sandown yard closed in mid 2010. Patrick PortLink shortly after wound up their NSW operations completely. The DL Class now see only sporadic use with owner Pacific National opting to store the bulk of the class in favour of more modern motive power. The Dubbo freight is now operated using modern C44aci locomotives owned by Fletchers International Exports and crewed by SSR.
Taken near the summit of the geologically wondrous Mount Cardigan.
And much of Mount Cardigan's summit is bare rock: the Early Devonian Kinsman Granodiorite, now reclassified by petrologists as a quartz monzonite (see Part 2 of this set). The large potassium-feldspar phenocrysts of this igneous intrusive rock type are visible in the foreground.
However, the summit is also home to scattered island plant communities of what New Hampshire ecologists call the Subalpine Heath-Krummholz association. The term "krummholz," derived from the German word for "crooked wood," refers to the windblasted Red Spruces (Picea rubens) that survive here only in low, contorted forms.
When I took a good look at this particular island, i found that it was remarkably well laid out in distinct zones of different species, as though a gardener had carefully placed the lowest growers in front and the tallest in the center. On the edges there were Prostrate Crowberry (Empetrum nigrum) and Mountain Cranberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea var. minus); a little farther in, the mini-shrub Labrador Tea (Rohodendron groenlandicum) dominated. And in the middle, joining the scraggily Red Spruce, was Mountain Ash (Sorbus americana), here visible as almost-bare stems that had not yet leafed out fully by mid-May.
