Smoke haze obscured the horizon but provided for a spectacular sunrise on the morning of 9 November, and the previous afternoon's walk to Back Creek was also hazy.
On the Back Creek walk we ventured as far as the newly erected barrier fence before making our way back to Back Creek to rock hop down to Denham Falls where only a trickle of water was coming over the falls.

Only 3 walkers today but it was a lovely day for "walking and talking"!

We set off from Kevin Gates Park at 8 am and walked out to the rock wall. We then walked around past the Caravan park and did our walk the opposite way to what we usually did so as to get the open bit over and done with before it got too hot.

A clear, but cool and breezy morning that soon warmed up to meke it perfect day for a beach walk.

Spectacular views from the cliffs at Lennox Head and the sound of waves crashing onshore is something that the bushwalkers rarely see. Eagle eye Paul spotted a whale but the rest of us were amazed at the surfers trying to get out past the swells for a (possible) ride in.

A clear, bright, day that started cool and windy but soon warmed up to meke it perfect for the Lower Portals + Barney Falls walk.
