RE: Here and there: Six - The Northern Rivers, NSW

Looks like a magical place! I especially like the horseback riding on the beach. I've ridden a lot of horses in my years but have never ridden on the beach. You may have thought those helmets weren't cool, but c'mon...you guys were rockin 'em! Small price to pay for the experience.

Funny, but every time you post pics of Australia, I can't help but think...does anyone even live there? lol...it seems sparsely populated which is delightful!

Sort:  

My horse was stubborn, head strong, annoying, had a tendency to take matters into his own hand, didn't suffer fools and...oh hang on, I'm describing myself. Lol.

It was a cool experience and a first for me, riding on the beach. My mount was a funny bugger but once coaxed into doing what I wanted then all of a sudden he decided he actually wanted to do it as well, liking getting in the surf.

(Those bloody helmets were shit, I mean I get the point, but I'd rather have had on my Akubra, a more suitable lid)

With Australia, 95% of the population live on only 5% of the land, or there abouts, so unless in a city or town people are sparse. Most of what I do is away from people as well, and I don't like getting people in my photos.

lol I knew it! I don't really see anything wrong with that. Now if you had been riding mules, you may not have won that battle lol.

I try to stay to the less populated areas myself, though with the encroachment happening ever faster, it is becoming more difficult. Your population ratio sounds good lol

Indeed, mules can be problematic, camels too. Not that I've ridden either.

People complicate things, even though I work has to avoid it and minimise it. I am comfortable in open spaces with no one around and when I'm in the city I keep my circle small. It's better that way.
