@Dave – Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I think the lizards are tucked away for the winter. Cheers!

Just back from the Manly Scenic Walkway. Great shots of native plants and a few birds/lizards. Well, I only saw one lizard, maybe they are hiding in the winter!

I think I actually took longer than the expected time. However I was taking pictures constantly 😉

Thanks for the advice on this walk!

@Dave – Don’t listen to Frank: take your Icebreakers! I never “leave home” without them! (smiles)

@Frank – lol! Thanks for promoting my Aussie-speak dictionary of sorts! I wonder what somebody in Darwin or Cairns would think of you referring to Tassie as “way down south”, from your southern vantage point of the greater Melbourne area! I think to them, we’re all a little nuts!

My Smartwool + Icebreaker are ready for chilly. Rug up? Hehe, I’ll have to remember that one for use with my irritating Crocodile Hunter accent. Crikey!

All right, here we go….speaking “Strine” before you get here…. I WON’T even start….. Check out Nora’s posts here: https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/australian-abbreviations/ and here: https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/australian-expressions-of-pleasure/ (Hey Nora, I’m a mod now)

Sydney won’t be cold , just bloody wet – pack a rain coat – Now cold, that will be our territory, down South – Victoria BUT we rarely wear wool layers unless we are way DOWN SOUTH (in Tasmania). Now that gets cold!

Have fun Dave.

@Dave – Thanks for stopping by! You’ll get some great tips on Oz, New Zealand, and Hawaii if you poke around my site. And feel free to email me with any specific questions you have.
As for Sydney in June, it will still be nice, but may be a tad chilly, especially at night. Better bring your jumper and rug up, as they’d say in Oz!

Hi Nora, just got a link here from Frank, as I’m looking for a hike during my 5d in Sydney. This one looks perfect, and it’s even Manly! 😉 I hope it’s still nice even in the winter, as I’ll be there in June.

Will definitely check out some of your other adventures on the blog!

Great yarn Nora,
I’m using Firefox and Host gaiter comes across a bit on the left column into the body of the text. Seems to vary. This time it is about 3-4 characters.
Also just noticed that Writing & Publicity in the menu above is covering some other wording… Have fun.

@Frank – Oh man! I’m out of my element on this one. Who’s that guy you know….?

@June – That’s strange: I have no formatting problems with Firefox – it all shows just fine. What browser are you using? What other sidebar buttons infringe on text, or is hostgator the only one? Is anybody else experiencing the same issues? I’ve got to get that fixed! Thanks for the head’s up.

@Maya – Glad I’m not the only one who had a tough time hailing the bus! (smiles)
