Back again for an end of January roundup.
An early morning view across the road from our place - these agapanthus positively glowed in the rising sun.

We spent a week at Culburra Beach near Nowra. We travelled via Tarago and Nerriga (bitumen all the way) stopping to photograph this old footbridge, then on to the Tianjara Falls.

At Culburra Beach, there were a range of beaches within easy walking distance of our accommodation, as well as a couple of boat ramps so I could get out fishing with whoever wanted to come. No fish photos though, although we had a couple of fish feeds. The weather was NOT January normal. Instead it was overcast and rain or showers at the end of each day.

Lake Wollumboola had a lot of waders feeding across the shallows. If I have named some of them incorrectly, I am happy to take comments and fix it.

On a drive through the Beecroft Weapons Range to Point Perpendicular there were the usual Banksias, a covey of quail crossing the road, but they were too quick to photograph and identify. At the end was the Point Perpendicular Lighthouse. I had passed it many many times in my 20 years Navy, but had never visited it.

After one heavy rainstorm, Alex and Ben had fun running in the puddles.

One night there was an immense storm over Canberra that we could see at Culburra Beach. The lightning continued for a very long time.
