We’re had so much rain this year. April was super wet, we had around 620mm of rain across the month. With the constant wet and humid conditions, mushrooms and other fungi have been popping up all over the place.

Out on water near Bolton Point, looking north toward Warners Bay. Not a fish to be found, at least the view was good.

⛳️ Played Waratah Golf Course this morning with Travis. Struck the ball reasonably well, and finished under my handicap, but felt like I should’ve done better…those double bogies really stung!

Played Merewether Golf Course this morning with a couple of mates. Didn’t hit them super well, but still shot better than my handicap, managed a couple of pars, as well as a birdie on one of the Par 3’s.
