How lucky you are, after just 2 days of sunshine, we are in for weeks of rain again. In July we had more rain than our annual rainfall, and it is still raining :-(
I love the name Lemon Tree Passage too. Not so sure about the origin. There are a couple of theories concerning the origins of the town's name. It is said that lemon trees were mysteriously found growing on the point by early settlers (possibly washed ashore from other settlements). Another is that they were in fact a native plant called cheesebush which is similar in appearance.
@randystreat We had to drive to Lemon Tree Passage and we car pool because it is about 40 km from where I live close to Nelson Bay and then our walks are usually about 6 or 7 km long.

@craftymeg 16c in summer is very chilly isn't it. That is one reason why we moved to Australia from the UK ha ha.
