Mud Slides

On the road again, over the mountains which had recently received 16inches of rain in as many hours, we came across evidence of mudslides.

One all tidy,







another still being cleaned up.


Apparently these slides which block the road are not uncommon but that is some rainfall!





We were headed for Hot Water Beach but would have had to wait for some hours for the tide to retreat.

Still, we had a wander on a beach but memory fails me now. Is this Hot Water Beach Heather?










Cathederal Cove too was off limits. More mud (rock?) slides.


We had a look at the view










posed for a photo at the top









and then met up with a fair sized grass-hopper. Or is this a locust?

  1. Definitely looks like hot water beach dad, well done! And I sure hope that wasn't a locust, I'd rather not have gotten so close to it!
