Laurieton, Dunbogan and Camden Head - #2 Camden Haven Tour #CAFAR
Let's continue my personalised guided tour of the Camden Haven by checking out all my favourite riverside haunts on the OTHER side of the river :)
The trip from Laurieton to Camden Head (via Dunbogan) takes in some amazing river and coastal views.
And the visit to Pilot Beach reminds me of why I moved here in the first place, almost 20 years ago in 2000.
It's not hard to see why I fell in love with this place!
Cheers

Tide is rising...fishing on my river boat trip along the Hastings River
One part of a my 3 day boating and camping trip along the beautiful Hastings River in NSW Australia in late September 2013 .
I traveled up river from Blackmans Point which is near Port Macquarie to Wachope then on the Redbank.
I pitched my touring tent on a island in the river for the first night , the 2nd night I slept on my boat, which is a 1965 de Havilland Hercules 18 footer ex marine survey boat powered by a 100 horsepower 4 cylinder Mercury outboard.
Ive done similar trips along the Hawksberry and Myal rivers and ventured out numerous times on Lake Macquarie aboard my much loved old Sea Eagle
The Australian made half cabin Hercules was named after the de Havilland company's 1926 Hercules airplane.
The now defunct company manufactured the boat utilizing similar aircraft construction methods and is made from aluminium sheet that is riveted together.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Mornington Peninsula is a peninsula located south-east of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is surrounded by Port Phillip to the west, Western Port to the east and Bass Strait to the south, and is connected to the mainland in the north. Geographically, the peninsula begins its protrusion from the mainland in the area between Pearcedale and an area south of Frankston. The area was originally home to the Mayone-bulluk and Boonwurrung-Balluk clans and formed part of the Boonwurrung nation's territory prior to European settlement.
Much of the peninsula has been cleared for agriculture and settlements. However, small areas of the native ecology remain in the peninsula's south and west, some of which is protected by the Mornington Peninsula National Park. In 2002, around 180,000 people lived on the peninsula and in nearby areas, most in the small towns on its western shorelines which are sometimes regarded as outlying suburbs of greater Melbourne; there is a seasonal population of around 270,000.The peninsula is primarily a local tourist region, with popular natural attractions such as the variety of beaches both sheltered and open-sea and many scenic sights and views. Other popular attractions include the various wineries, mazes and the diverse array of water sports made available by the diversity of beaches and calm waters of Port Phillip and Western Port. Most visitors to the peninsula are residents of Melbourne who camp, rent villas and share houses or stay in private beach houses.
