Near this walkway at Munmorah State Conservation Area, administered by National Parks & Wildlife Services, signage reads "birds travel thousands of kilometres to nest on islands along the coast of south east Australia. The island you can see from here is Birdie Island - once used as a practice bombing target in World War II. Now protected as a nature reserve the island is an importan nesting site for migratory waterbirds including oystercatchers and shearwaters.
On the other side of the parking area here is a lovely walking path where these shrubs were flowering

That ocean view is beautiful! It's nice to see shoreline that isn't crowded with beach umbrellas. Lovely blooms, too!
ReplyDeleteTo add to Brian's comment, it is nice to see it is not raining bombs on the offshore islands too.

Love those ti-trees! The petals look like very thin, very delicate soft paper! The middles are so interesting too!
ReplyDeleteI'm realizing the longer I look at them that this is the way I've drawn flowers my whole life... a circle in the center with 5 petals all spaced out. These are MUCH prettier than mine! :-)
so lovely!
ReplyDeleteand the bee seems to appreciate it, too! :)
What a lovely walk. It looks like the weather is warming up down your way too!
