Getting ready for landing after a long flight! What's better than flying like a bird in the sky? Don't worry if you have never hang glide before. A professional glider will be controlling the glide and all you have to do is to run at full speed, jump off the cliff (?!) and enjoy the flight. If you are lucky like me, you get to take control for a while too.

Third time lucky...Mother Nature finally let us fly.
Daunting when you get to almost the edge, until the wind picks you up and you get sidetracked from your nerves with the bird's eye view of the place.

This is an early morning image looking north from the Wollongong lighthouse. The light was great bust the cloud weren’t playing along so it’s was time to get creative. 

This is a great spot to walk with your camera. There’s so much to see. From exercising locals to the great waves and even the areas of heavy industry to the south.
