Paddling on the Mersey

Paddling on the Mersey River and walking in Kelcey Tier are two activities accessible to me within minutes. Nothing beats that for a daily exercise!

I try time my paddling with the coming and going of big ships, more than the tides or the currents. Watching a ship glide past you when you are in the kayak is an awesome view. Maybe it is a male thing...

Lily is less impressed. She just loves coming out with me. Not sure if it is to please me or to go for the paddle, but she is happy to come aboard any time.

Just need one more www.ebay.com.au/itm/281233367593 so I can pull both the kayaks down.

Walls of Jerusalem

The Walls of Jerusalem has to be one of my favourite spots for a hike! Just this weekend I went up with friends. The first day we left about lunchtime and walked past Trappers Hut to the comfortable tent platforms at Wild Dog Creek, just below King David's Peak. On the second day we took daypacks and hiked to Dixons Kingdom hut and some of us went up Mount Jerusalem and the others went up Solomon's Throne on the way back to the tents. The third morning we hiked back to the cars. Always great! The tent platforms have a watertank and toilet too.
