Last day off

Today was my last day off before starting a new job, so I had nothing in particular to do except enjoy it.  Coincidentally, Diamond Jay was racing at Moruya, so I took the opportunity to take myself off to the coast for the day to watch.

Because I was going by myself, I wasn't in the mood to spend all afternoon at the races, so I decided to take it a bit slower and enjoy the trip there, and maybe take some photos on the way.

There were a few interesting-looking roads of to the side that looked promising, but I didn't really have enough time to explore them.











It was a really nice Winter's day - a bit cool but nice in the sun.  I had lunch in a cafe overlooking the Clyde river.  The coriander and chilli squid was excellent.




This should have been Diamond Jay who came 6th instead.  The jockey got caught in the pack and couldn't get enough speed up in the straight.


On the way home the afternoon light had a nice quality about it.


An old boat of some kind.
I had to pull over to the side of the road a few times to try and capture the great atmosphere.
