Manly - last few days

 On Sunday I walked around the harbour  along the Manly to Spit Bridge walk. In 2016 I did this walk,  about 10km from the Spit Bridge to Manly. Previously I had walked the same walk with my mother  and maybe father and some of my school aged ( i think) kids . This time I only planned on walking about 4 km  and  then returning to Manly. I got as far as Forty Baskets  beach. Apparently in 1885 a catch of 40 baskets of fish was sent to a contingent of Sudanese troops at  north Head quarantine station  from this beach. Hence the name.

Yesterday I walked in the opposite direction towards Little Manly beach, then on, up and down, up and down till I got to Collins Flat Beach. This is just inside the Sydney Harbour Foreshore National Park.  I was not far from North Head. 

Shortly my cousin arrives. She will spend the night here then  I go with her to her  home in Katoomba for a few days.
