Dee Why Rock Pool - Mar12

Another weekend, another rock pool - although note that I was in Adelaide last weekend for my friend Sherina's 40th birthday! This one, unlike the pool at North Curl Curl (a.k.a. Dee Why Point Rock Pool), was very accessible and I had no trouble getting there.


What has surprised me so far on this project is that I have had almost identical sunrises - hardly a cloud in the sky apart from ones on the distant horizon. Obviously a cloudy morning is not good, but sometimes a few clouds thrown in makes for interesting contrasts.


The Dee Why Surf Living Saving Club built the rock pool between 1915 and 1919. More recently it has had a bit of a makeover. One feature I loved about this one was the surrounding rocky areas which were a treat to photograph in addition to the pool. Enjoy the shots!

North Curl Curl Rock Pool - Mar11

This one was a challenge, at least from the logistical point of view! I found myself clambering over slippery rocks in an attempt to get there before the best of the morning light had gone. I had no idea about the small path that led you safely there from the car park. Anyway, I almost lost my gear in the incoming tide so decided to back track whereby I eventually found the path.

Other photographers were present and they probably thought I was some lunatic that had little respect for self-preservation (gear included)!

Anyway, I made it in time and did a very quick shoot. It was a lovely morning as well.
