It was Friday afternoon and I was on the train listening to Metallica’s new return-to-thrash, Hardwired to Self-Destruct. Craig was due to pick me up at 7am the next morning to make our way to Kosciusko and I decided to do a quick weather check.

In 10hrs there was forecasted to be a 100% high cloud over the NSW South Coast so I posed a crazy suggestion. “Craig – check the forecast for Bermagui tomorrow morning”. A few minutes later and the reply came “should we leave tonight?”.

And that was that. We were on our way for an all-night burn down to the south coast before pushing onto the mountains.

With an hour till sunrise we were on location at Camel rock and the cloud, in the dark of the night, wasn’t looking high. Sunrise came and our fears were right. The forecasted 100% high cloud was 100% low cloud

Thankfully this location works for a moodier sky but I really, really, want to get it with colour.

When we were in Calga in 2019, we stopped by Walkabout Wildlife Park. We didn't have lots of time and did a short hike around the place. Looking at their trails in the bush, you can see why the fires have taken off. Most of the underbrush is scruffy and like kindling. I know that the fires went through this area, but wildlife was moved and a squad of people helped to save the structures and remaining animals.

Crescent Head is a hidden gem situated 437km north of Sydney. An uncrowded costal town with loads to do for all age groups.

Shot from the passenger seat as my wife drove in southern NSW (New South Wales) near Jamberoo. The high ISO was from walking in a dark rain forest and forgetting to turn it down.

Thanks for visiting.
