First Glimpse

Tea Gardens.

This is where I will be spending the next 6 - 8 weeks. This is the first of what will become many blogs on the Tea Gardens and it's surrounds, I am sure. This set of photos and accompanying album are taken in the immediate area of where I am living - a small coastal town called Tea Gardens. I have not ventured far as yet as I have been busy with settling into the town and re-organising all my affairs. I am here for just 6 - 8 weeks but perfect time to relax and start something new and plenty of new territory to go on Hunts for whatever my eye and lens capture. A feast, me thinks!!!!!!

These Images have all been taken within the horizons you see in each photo and believe me you will be amazed at what is beyond them. For now enjoy. The first Three are views from the house or directly across from the house on the riverbank. The one above is glimpse I get from my front window but this shot I took from the riverside opposite

I took this from the verandah looking down the river toward the Singing Bidge. So called from the sounds it generates in the wind. The Verandah looks north toward the morning sun in the warmth of its rays as I slowly wake up. Dolphins pass here from time to time during the day fishing or just cruising. Again photos of Dolphins to follow

This is the same ferry you see tied up at the Jetty in the previous Photo. This ferry goes a few times daily to a town called Nelson Bay on the other side of Port Stephens. It is modern compared to here and very much more developed. The ferry trip includes a dolphin watch as as it plows across Port Stephens which boasts the largest population of Dolhins in Austrlia.

Finally - this photo is taken from the Bridge you see in the photo of the ferry. It looks further down river across to the twin town called Hakes nest on the other side. Beyond that is the ocean which for sure you are gonna see soon in up-coming blogs on my stay here.
