After a very good sleep we walked over to the coast up to Clovelly bay (It's pronounced like 'love ellie'). On the way there were 3 helicopters towing large banners - about 3 times the length of the chopper on each side. Also someone had written "Bose" in the sky. Most likely to do with the annual City to Surf run which stops at Bondi beach which is about 2 miles north.

Then off on a trip to the Royal National Park. After a picnic and a trip kayaking on Hacking River. The wildlife seems quite tame, coming over for food, though it is discouraged. We didn't feed the Sulphur crested cockatoos that came within a few metres. Loads of other birds, including a tiny black and white one which moved around waggling it's tail.

Outside the B&B there were a couple of King parrots, but it's too dark to take a photo.

Driving back the idea was to get some Krispy Kreme doughnuts. The drive through queue was about 20 cars and the foot queue was all around the shop, so it was abandoned. By the time we got out, the queue was 6 cars longer and had reached the road. Looks like it's a Sunday afternoon institution.
