What a wonderful day! As promised by the meteorologists (yes, they can sometimes be right - sorry, Gerald, I don't want to offend anybody - not even you), today was sunny and relatively warm. We took that chance and a train of the CityRail to go to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. We got off the train in Berowra and did a 9 km walk to Mt Ku-ring-gai. That took about 4.5 hours and we saw plenty and amazing wildlife. Some of it you can see here:
Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) female. We saw also two males which are much smaller.
We had to cross some small creeks and it was a bit of rock climbing but very easy. Over all, the track was nicely wild, we didn't meet other people until very close to Mt Ku-ring-gai and there was lots of diversity on the type of habitat we went through: Bushland, heath, open forest, mangroves, and more..
Cicada exuviae on a burned bark of a living Eucalyptus tree. The area is shaped a lot by bush fires and many trees wear 'scars' like this you see here. Often you find hollow trees that have burned inside but still survived! 
Some Aboriginal art: Kurt was here maybe even before the first European settlers arrived!?
