Brookvale show

Sunday 09 October

Today is the celebration of
Brookvale Park Centenary
1911-2011


I took this photo with my phone.

The show was gear for family with children.
lots of rides, jumping castle, pony rides,
show bags, sideshow alley all for you to
spend your money, plus all the food stalls.
But there was also, the animal farm the milking of
the cows, circus, magician.
We watched some wood chopping demonstrations
and then took a seat and listen to a school band
playing some jazz.




First ride over the new bridge

Friday 7 October

I packed a picnic and we took the bikes to
Narrabeen Lake.
It is the first time we used the bikes since
having the new car.


In August we walked that way, we had to climb
over some fences. The bridge was not done.
We stopped for our picnic. before riding our
bike to Narrabeen beach.

On the way we noticed a new sign.
We better stay on the bike.


The pelican marking the "pelican path"
along the lagoon on our way to the beach.


 On our way back we stopped for a coffee and
watched the dredging of the lagoon.
Around 40,000 cubic metres of sand is being
moved from the entrance of Narrabeen lagoon.
They are using the sand to replenish
Collaroy-Narrabeen beach.

We are very happy with our decision to go biking.
The sky was very black when we left home and
we are coming back with the sunshine.
