Mollymook Surf Club volunteers support the Australian IRB Championships

 

32 surf clubs with a combined total in excess of 1,000 competitors from throughout Australia are here in Mollymook for competition over 4 days, beginning today, in the various categories for the Aussie IRB Championships.  Despite the rain today, the athletes came to compete, and compete they did. Official results each day will appear on the SLS Australia web page, https://sls.com.au/ and their Facebook site: slsaustralia

Once again, our Mollymook surf club volunteers did us proud, staffing the kitchen, the BBQ van, also providing IRB assistance, 1st Aid and help everywhere else, in wet and rainy conditions.

Destination Cape York

 

Bucket List accomplishment, Cape York.

 

Christina writes: Rodney and I have made it to the “Tip” (Pakinka ) Cape York, the northern most point of mainland Australia. It is within the Shire of Torres in Queensland. Another beautiful destination to cross off our ‘Bucket List’. A long and splendid drive from Mollymook but unfortunately  no ocean swimming on Cape York as waters are infested with Crocodiles.

The drive from the black top was along fairly rough roads and a real wilderness experience, but so worth it, to be able to stand at the northernmost point of the continent. Even from the car park it is a rough 1 kilometre track over rocks to the Tip sign, but well worth the effort. Expect to be back in the water at Mollymook Beach mid August. Best wishes to all Christina and Rodney.

Ocean Swimming in the Irish Sea

 

SUMMER IN LONDON

 

Kath writes: Hello dear Mollymook ocean swimmers, hope you are all well and staying warm. We have been in London for 10 days exploring this vibrant city and loving it. Galleries, pubs, food, people watching and flowers blooming everywhere! It’s been great taking our time and not having to rush and see everything in a short time. Geoff’s flat is in a great spot and very comfortable.

On Sunday we are going to Dublin and explore Ireland for 3 weeks. 

The weather has been perfect although the locals are melting. British Rail advised us not to travel by rail on Monday when the temperature is expected to reach 35 degrees as services could be disrupted. We had to smile to ourselves, imagine our summer temperature’s here!

I’m looking forward to getting in the Irish Sea for an ocean swim next week, probably freeze my butt off!   Love Kath.X

Mollymook Ocean Swimmers go walk-about

 

Wild weather hits the Mollymook – Ulladulla area.

Rainfall in the past 24 hours to mid-day Saturday July 2 was in excess of 200mm with the worst predicted for tomorrow Sunday with further falls through to Tuesday. Was it intuition or fore-knowledge of heavy rainfall that caused a few wise ocean swimmers to get away and have a holiday?

After sending this pic, I asked Tim for some verbiage. He replied in the affirmative, but I have not since heard from him. I wouldn’t swim there.

Dave decided to head to the NSW South West.

Hearing of a delightful town in the Riverina called Lockhart, which describes itself as a ‘historic verandah town’, it took Dave’s imagination. So off he went. He reported that; there certainly are lots of veranda’s, homes and business’s.

Welsh’s Wanderings

Mollymook Ocean swimmers,Mollymook Ocean Swimming,Mollymook Beach,Mollymook Beach Waterfront

 

Chris and Sue’s outback travels.

A big hello to everyone at home. Well, we are now in Coffs Harbour, on the downhill run to Narrawallee. We plan to be back at the end of the month, so keep that rain at bay. Not to rub it in, but we had 82 days straight with no rain and only hit a couple of hours of rain once we reached the Queensland Coast at Agnes Water/1770.

 

The highlights of the second half of the trip have been exploring the underground town of Coober Pedy; an interesting  place both geologically and socially! Alice Springs and both the West MacDonnell and East MacDonnell Ranges were wonderful, although we arrived there just as the first “polar blast” hit so swims in the waterholes were not so enticing. The water in these waterholes was 19 degrees but the air temp left a bit to be desired! Magnificent scenery and breath-taking gorges of course.

 

We rode our bikes around the base of Uluru, and did the Valley of the Winds walk at Kata Tjuta/The Olgas. These were both really good, however the rim walk around Kings Canyon trumped them both. Another highlight of our time in Central Australia was seeing a herd of about a dozen wild camels, not to mention plenty of wedge tail eagles, brolgas, bustards and the ever present whistling kites.

 

A visit to Devils Marbles/Karla Karla en-route to Tennant Creek was fascinating, with so many large boulders weathered over time and giving the appearance of casually scattered marbles. From here we crossed back into Queensland and headed to one of our favourite places in Australia, namely Gregory Downs. This is an absolute oasis in the desert of the  Gulf Country , complete with a gorgeous swimming river lined with pandanus and palm trees. The water here was an unbelievable 24.5 degrees. And no crocs, fresh or otherwise!!

 

Next we travelled across the middle of Queensland through Winton, Longreach and Emerald. At Winton we visited the billabong believed to have inspired Banjo Paterson’s Waltzing Matilda, a political piece really, commenting on the great Shearer’s Strike of 1891. Winton is also famous for the discovery of dinosaurs bones, we reckon our grandchildren would be fascinated to see these fossils and the signs of a fossilised dinosaur stampede! Along this route we also passed through the town of McKinlay, made famous by Crocodile Dundee and the Walkabout Hotel.

 

Longreach has both the Stockman’s Hall of Fame and the Qantas Museum. We spent a few interesting hours at the Stockman’s Hall and particularly loved the live show they put on with stock horses, dogs, sheep and even a Brahman bull. Very entertaining and informative. A sunset river cruise and bushman’s dinner was likewise enjoyable but we decided to save the Qantas Museum for next time.

 

Carnarvon Gorge was a further highlight of our travels, and we did a 27 km walk right through the gorge and up into each of the little side gorges. Amphitheatres, Aboriginal rock art, waterfalls, cycads, cabbage palms, moss covered walls, multiple river crossings…it had it all. 

 

We eventually hit the Queensland coast at Agnes Water where Chris was hoping for a surf. The boards had been strapped to the back of the motorhome for nearly three months but alas, the ocean was a millpond! I can happily report that he has managed to get some decent waves here on the Coffs Coast and we head to Crescent Head next, then Seal Rocks, Newcastle and Cronulla so hopefully he returns home a happy surfer. As for ocean swimming, well, not a lot happening on that front. We will both be needing lessons when we return haha. We have done plenty of walking and many excellent bike rides, and I have done a couple of Park runs.

 

Well, that’s about all for now. We have missed you all and will be super excited to see all your smiling faces at the end of the month!!

 

Much love, Sue and Chris

Fundraising for MND Research

1. Mollymook marathon push-bike peddling champ, Ian gives a wrap up following the completion of their massive bike ride. Ian writes: “All 80 riders crossed the finishing line at Ariah Park on Saturday afternoon after a 130 km journey from Griffith. Fatigue and loss of concentration caused a few incidents but we all made it. l can tell you I am off the bike 🚴for awhile pending return to normal of certain parts of my lower anatomy returning to normal. 

We have been privileged to meet some amazing athletes (para Olympians/basketballers and footballers) on the journey. 

Last night at the Ariah Park  footy ground we had dinner with 300 others to wind up the ride and the great news was the event had generated over $450,000 to assist with research to find a cure for MND. The other great thing is our researchers are collaborating with other like minded  scientists throughout the world to help find a cure. 

Leonie and I look forward to catching up with you all on our return to home. Again thanks for all your good wishes and support.”

Ian McLeod, 78 year old from Narrawallee riding 100’s km fund raising.

 

Ian’s update: Quote “Hi all. The ride is going so well and the 80 riders are getting stronger as each day passes. Albury to Wagga was a cracker of a ride with mostly a howling wind at our backs. But the hills were still tough. I spent some kms in the van as I kept having punctures. Good timing actually!!

Thursday’s ride took us to Narrandera which was mostly good but 2 big climbs which spread out the pelotons considerably. 

Got to the bottom of my puncture problem….a tiny shard of glass which had pushed through the tyre. Off to Griffith tomorrow so will be sampling some good food and 🍷!!

Thrilled to say fund raising has gained momentum with the tally around $430,000. It is such a privilege to be involved with this MND charity. Regards from Ian and Leonie”.

****************************

Glynis’ response: Sending lots of energy his way I’m sure the calories are flowing from the support team.

Wendy wrote: You are both truly amazing – Ian and Leonie. Your ongoing support for MND is a reflection of your characters and dedication to this cause. We are so proud of you both 👏. Happy cycling 🚴‍♂️ Ian and happy catering Leonie,  stay safe. Cheers Wen Jenner 😊

Dave wrote: Great to hear how Ian is going with his ride. It’s a huge effort. I’ve seen some photos of Mollymook and Narrawallee with huge surf. Hope to be back this weekend.

Laura gives a moving speech in regard to her MND fund raising experience

Fund Raiser for MND Research

Ian writes: “The Friday evening ‘do’ at our home was a great success in the  main due to the wonderful support given by you all. The weather caused a little concern but the happy atmosphere prevailed and nobody’s  spirits were too dampened.

The evening was touched with mixed emotions ranging from a having a good time to a few tears and everything in between. The reason for this was that I was allowed to use some local MND stories to highlight the terrible effects this disease can have. Firstly Max Woodward’s loss of his bubbly wife Jo and secondly Robbie’s loss of her God daughter(mother and athlete) at 44.

Then what a delight it was to have our very own Laura talk about her involvement with MND and the amazing 27km swim she did to raise lots of money for MND research. For someone who was terrified about public speaking, you did so well.

Mike and Lloyd provided wonderful background music and l think Christina and Jo would have loved to do a bit more dancing. Thanks to Mike and Lloyd.

I think we all had a good time with good food and company abounding.

I would like to say the Mollymook Swimmers have been wonderful contributors to the MND cause and I thank you for your support.

My dear wife Leonie and her helpers, thanks for making the evening so special.

Regards to all. I’ll pedal long and hard to support MND”. Link: MND Fund Raiser

Rescuing a lamb in trouble on the dirt road to Mutawintji

 

Bird Life, Inland New South Wales

October 11, arrived allowing regional travel to begin. I immediately left Mollymook and travelled to the Mutawintji National Park. Exiting the sealed roads, you have about  a 1 & 1/2 hour drive along the dirt Waterbag Road through numerous huge sheep stations, opening and closing cattle gates, other stations were separated merely by cattle grids en route to the Mutawintji National Park. Mutawintji is in Far Western NSW, approx.  130 km from Broken Hill and 350 km from Tibooburra. The ancient landscape of the Mutawintji National Park, is rich in Aboriginal history. Great  bushwalks and camping under the outback night sky.

I returned via Boorowa. Every entry into Boorowa has signage; “Superb Parrot, Superb Country, Welcome to Boorowa”. In the past 30 years driving through Boorowa I had never seen a Superb Parrot. Neither had a friend who grew up in Boorowa. So I just thought the signage to be a bit of nice advertising. The weather was not good, I parked at the Caravan Park, awoke in the morning to showers and an overcast sky and decided to pack up and go home rather than stay a day. Then, SWOOSH! The noise of about 50 or 60 Superb Parrots went overhead and landed in this tree next to the caravan park that was heavy in blossom.

The following week in beautiful weather, blue skies, ideal for bird photography, I took off on another trip out West. My first stop was the Boorowa Caravan Park hoping to get some good pics of the Superb Parrot. The tree that had been heavy in blossom had been stripped bare. Not a Parrot to be seen. So I headed to Young, not far from Boorowa and came across flocks of Superb Parrot’s. Thereafter I headed to Grenfell, then Forbes, the following day to Cowra, back to Boorowa then onto Jugiong. Then to the Yass River and gorge area on the way home. 

The following pics below, are just a few of the many bird pics taken. Nonetheless they will give you an idea of the different varieties inland as compared to here on the coast.
