Patonga to Woy Woy: headlands, beaches, shark eggs, pelicans

A classic leg stretch with the bushwalkers the other day. We took the bus to Patonga on the northern side of the Hawkesbury estuary, and walked over the hill to Pearl Beach. Then via beaches to Ettalong, and around toWoy Woy.

Here's our morning tea vantage point, with views across to West Head, Barrenjoey, and the Newport Peninsula.

Who knew that some sharks lay eggs, and some give birth to live young? Actually I think I did. Our leader Len was able to further educate us on the subject when he found this Port Jackson Shark egg on Umina Beach.

An awful lot of dogs on these dog-friendly beaches, sometimes getting a bit tangled up with the bushwalkers.

One of Woy Woy's time-honoured attractions is the 3pm pelican feeding session. We were just in time.
