Hiking near Lane Cove NP

After spending the better part of two weekends shopping (which neither of us are that great at) and settling in to our new place, we decided we needed to get out and explore. The good news is that there's a national park just 2km from our house. The bad news is that they don't allow dogs (and in case the 'rule' wasn't enough to stop you, they also have all these poisoned fox-baits throughout the park to help control the invasive fox population...). So instead of going in the national park, we just hiked around it. Which was still great.

All 3 of us enjoy bird watching, and sow some fun stuff. As always, there were lots of cockatoos and lorikeets, and we finally figured out where all these birds are nesting. We hiked along this riverbed that had all these tall old trees with great cavities for nests. The cockatoo in the photo was really hanging around its nest and kanoodling with its partner - such a cute little pair of Love-atoos!
