Steam to Cronulla and back (3/8/08)

Yesterday, Fred3801, Sydney_Gunzel and Bwana decided to go out chasing the Pig(3642).

We met at Sutherland where we found a bridge to see the Steamer go over.

Then, in about half an hour the Pig went through

Then, we decided to try and chase it to Cronulla, but the traffic was too busy so we decided to stay at Miranda to wait for the return trip.

So we got our tripods and set them up at the Cronulla end of Miranda.

Then we decided to head for Stanwell Park, stopping by at Engadine for lunch and Balds Point.

Then we went for a little walk along a bush trail to find the spot that Neety took her picture from. But we ended up walking too far but I didn’t mind as there were some breathtaking views along the way

Then, we went to two other spots seeing nothing but EMUs.
