I've been down under again to visit the family. We spent a few days in Queensland and nearly two weeks in New South Wales.
Today I'm going to tell you about our penultimate day. Ever since I saw this video I've wanted to visit the underneath of the Sea Cliff Bridge.
You can find out how it was made on YouTube: Behind the Scenes. And the story behind the song.
In 2020 we actually drove over this bridge without realising it.
Two days before we arrived in NSW, the family moved to Wollongong. The bridge was only 17 miles away so I asked if we could go. And that's what we did on our penultimate day in Australia.
We drove over the bridge, parked the car and then walked on the bridge until we found a path down to the shore. I was very excited. I hope you don't think I'm too weird!
As we walked towards the rocks it looked like there were piles of snow. But it was like an underlay fabric that had been put to stop the hardcore disappear through the spaces in the rocks when the tide came in.
And the erosion of the fabric was fabulous. You know how much I like texture and pattern.
But back to the video inspiration - the rock platform.
And a last look along the coast before we climbed back up to the road and drove home.
I really can't explain why this bridge and the shore excite me. I was evn trilling with excitement writing this blog post and looking at the photos. Very odd!
I'm looking forward to sharing the rest of our trip with you in the weeks to come!
Thanks for being here today
