At 5:20-5:30 you are looking towards Refuge Rock (it extends further past the trees). It was actually used in WW2 for mortar practice as an aiming point from locations in the valley around. You can still see the shell marks in the rock.

Really! I saw that on the map after I came back from there and was annoyed that I forgot to go and see what it was. Sounds like it would have been interesting, though even more so now that you've explained the history. Thanks!

I live up on a hill; and some kilometres down the hill from me is a sewerage treatment plant near one of the beaches. Been living here for years and haven't really smelt anything untoward - however there is a dune walk that runs a long the beach near the treatment plant where occasionally you can get a waft of the smell that you're talking about. The run off goes into the sea and causes foam like those I can see in the video drifting down the pond/stream. However being the ocean we also get a natural byproduct of an algae bloom, as well, where it produces a lot of foam and a rather different pungent smell. Ahh the joys the being out there 🙂 Thanks for the video. That natural arch was quite a find, indeed! Good to see you getting out there amongst it.

Thanks Tony. The weird smell is an interesting one. I guess with the ocean outfalls, there is better dilution of the effluent but very interesting that you can smell it too.

Wow, you find some really beautiful places! I love how much you appreciate nature. You seem to have become a bit of a magnet for sticks it seems lol. The natural arch is so cool. Very fascinating! So was the big overhanging rock with all the holes in it & the ‘spa’, but it’s a shame about the sewerage pollution in there. I was wondering what was in the water making it smell. So cool how trees have grown around rocks too! I love that you show us all these amazing places! Thank you for sharing.

Definitely got a stick thing going on 😂 It paid off heading into that area. Beautiful walks around there. Kind of funny too how the water up at the spa was way clearer that the other branch of the creek....at least the sewage treatment plant outputs clear looking water 🤔

Hey Jason. When you walk or MTB into those semi-bush areas, do you often check for mobile cell signal in case of emergencies? Eg: God forbid, lose your footing and fall off a boulder or have a serious head-over-handlebars event on the bike. Cheers.

Common question that I should do a video on. My budget is $300 per week, not including rego and insurance. I'm usually a fair bit under that and can still afford to buy things for the van too.
