Bald on top?!

After spending several enjoyable hours at Symbio Wildlife Park we left to have our picnic lunch at Bald Hill Lookout, Stanwell Park.

What a beautiful spot!

Of course, we had all our picnic provisions with us and even (briefly) considered setting up our trusty picnic table.  For those less prepared though, there was a coffee/hot food cart.  The lookout is a major hang-gliding spot but we didn't see any while there.  However, we did find the nearby geocache, bringing our tally to 261!

"It was on the beach below Bald Hill that Lawrence Hargrave, an Australian pioneer of flight, experimented with box kites in the early part of the 20th century. A memorial cairn dedicated to him has been erected at the peak of the hill near the car park."

There was some discussion as to our activities after lunch.  No-one thought of kite flying!  Erin and I were both keen to have a closer look at the bridge we could see in the distance, so we packed up and headed downhill to the coastline.
