Day Trip to Kurnell

As we have a visitor staying with us (yes, another one) I decided to take us out for a little drive for the day to Kurnell. We finally found the Visitor Information (d’oh stupid roadworks meant we ended up almost in the refineries there). There’s a lovely short walk, around 1km circular, that takes you past a number of monuments and viewpoints. It took us around 1 hr to walk round as little Miss Evie decided she absolutely did not want to be carried and that she was adament she would walk. Sadly Evie’s walking consists of “tacking” left and right all over the place, and stopping every 10m to sit down or inspect a twig/stone/leaf. The concrete path there also had polished stones embedded in it so that was another delight for Evie to stop and try to pick up. We eventually got round to the Cook monument where by I got fed up of Evie’s dillydallying and put her on my shoulders. Our friend Lisa suddenly jumped up and started waving her hands about. I was so confused. Apparently a big magpie was dive bombing poor Evie. Evie was shrieking away with laughter as I was spinning round trying to see what it was and Lisa was prancing about like a mad woman. We must have a looked a sight! As we walked past a number of other monuments we wondered whether these spots were exactly where Cook might have stopped or whether it may have been further round the bay. Either way it is an absolutely lovely place to walk round and the small museum there was quite interesting. Drove round the rest of the park and stopped off at numerous spots to take in the vistas. Finally got hungry and went down to the Silver Cafe for a lovely greasy spoon style chippy and then across the road to play on the beach for a while. Evie enjoyed picking up shells.
