Risdon Park


Risdon Park

The "refreshing" start to the day caught many by surprise, it was the same last time we were here. Things were better once we started walking around the dam. Anticlockwise today. No sign of sun so there is a gloomy atmosphere in the photos.





 

A couple of bird shots
Native Hen (Turbo chook)



And a Flame Robin. 











We are approaching a little tributary




Looking back 




Starting the first climb



 

Down the other side







The quarry at the head of the dam




An unusual encounter






We are entering a pine forest













The water level is low 



kunanyi Mount Wellington



Madman's Hill? looking up the dam from the finish of our walk.
