The Great North

Yesterday mum and I took a few steps on to the Great North Walking Track. It starts at the end of a street near here. It starts with a wide concrete path to a steel bridge over the Berowra Creek and then turns off to a leafy covered rocky path that goes alongside the creek. A glimpse of the creek is seen as the walk goes on and there is a wooden bridge to cross it a little way along the path. It was hard to believe that we were so close to houses. The bush is dense enough to block any view and there is no way that I would leave the path to cross the creek to find a short cut back.

On the way out mum was sure that she had spotted a Kookaburra. We are not best friends with them as a flock of them as a flock woke us up at 5:30 in the morning.

Is that a Kookaburra?

Australian bird song is generally loud and distinct. Once you have heard it you know which bird it is.

In the picture can be seen things dangling from the trees. This is bark which has fallen off, hanging from branches which are left bare.
