Day 80 - Newcastle to Woy Woy - 108km
Eliza joined me on the Fernleign track rail trail on my way to Sydney, passing along the old train lines past old stations and through a beautiful tunnel.
I stuck to the pacific highway and with glimpses of the beach. I stopped to talk to a council worker having his lunch and he advised me to take the ferry from Ettalong to Palm Beach and get into Sydney that way, a better ride and will avoid a lot of the traffic. It sounded like a great idea.
Every time I come to Sydney the landscape and the harbour always surprise me with their beauty. I didn't know that the same landscape extends up north of Sydney.
I was close to the ferry but knew it was too late to get it and I needed a place to camp. I found a little hidden spot behind a signal box next to the train line and waited for nightfall to setup.
