Congwong Bay

It was 3ish on a Sunday afternoon and it didn't really seem like I was going to get out much but I thought I'd go out just for the sake of adding another post to my blog.. I'd initially intended to actually go to Cruwee Cove.. I think I"m beginning to see a pattern of the places that appeal to me here.. not hard to miss. I completely misread Google Maps in my over confidence of knowing the city.. it said stand C comething and I immediately assumed it to be some other bus station I was quite familiar with... I kinda like this.. the feeling of actually 'knowing' the places and names.. When I arrived here every place was just alien name to me... but I guess I'm beginning to get a hang of a very limited few places here... Could be from my Google maps surfings to pick destinations over the last few weeks too.. who knows.. if I could I'd like to make this 'my' city.

Anyhowz.. I goofed up the bus station and missed the L94 or something which is every half hour.. so I waited at the bus station patiently.. actually passing time was quite a pleasure with the company of good music. Took the 3:38 bus that would arrive at the place around 4:30. I wasn't thrilled of arriving at the place at almost sunset.. but heck I was at the bus station.. I"d come too far to just go back to my desolate room in the house. The 391 goes almost till the end of the Botany Bay. The last stop is called La Perouse.

I got off there and considered walking to the Bare Island. There was an exhibition there with an entry fee onto the island of $2. Here's a photo of the Bare Island taken from near the bus stop:


It was so insanely cold and windy that I just couldn't have been able to stay there anymore so I decided to take a walk to the beach and go where I'd intended to go - The Cruwee Cove. I walked to the end of the Congwong beach and a dad and his two daughters kinda disappeared on a bush trail while I was taking pictures of this steam. I was almost tempted to dip my hand in the water from the stream flowing into the ocean to see if it was sweet (not salty sea water) when I realized it came from a pipe.. ewww!! The pattern in the stream looked really pretty here's a photo of the stream flowing into the sea.


When I got back from there I watched a movie called Gallowalkers where Wesley Snipes rips peoples' heads and spines out. Looking back to the photo after the movie.. the pattern in the water kinda looks like a spine..

It was so obscure I wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't for them. The trail was not an official path and very rugged. I climbed to the top and considered walking another half hour towards my chosen destination but it was sunset already and I was a little nervous (terrified!) of venturing further on the bush trail. I took another photo of the Bare Island from the bush trail to the Henry point and walked back to the bus stop.


Coco and I waited for a long time for the bus to arrive.. We watched many aeroplanes land on the Sydney airport. I think Cocstar really enjoyed himself on this visit. It was still very cold and he didn't really get much chance to venture out.


The sound of the sea was amazing and very calming. If it wasn't so cold I'd have liked to sit on one of the boulders there watching the waves wash over the sandy rocky shore.
