Golden Gate Park

We found we were close enough to Golden Gate park which was a stop off on the Hop on Hop Off bus tour, and the nice weather was still hanging around.

 

Not far from our house was the beach, albeit a grey colour.

Like the instructions at Border Control – there is no room for misunderstanding.

Off we walked the several kilometres to the HOHO bus pick up point and enjoyed the stroll. Golden Gate Park is a large and made park built on sand dunes that seemed to have familiar trees and bushes all through. Plenty of eucalyptus and tea trees, mixed with the bison and squirrels.

On our circuit yesterday I spied this area that was the ‘home of flower power’ from many decades ago. Looked like a place to explore so we stopped for an hour.

These things bugged me. 660 volts within what felt like easy reach.

From our bedroom window. Apart from the powerlines – a nice view.
