Nerang River Bus Trip from the Ocean to Natural Bridge

18 of us left the Gallery on a rainy Friday morning

At the Back of Hinze dam. Where Pine creek joins the Nerang river.

We were to stop and Paint for a while , but the rain stopped us.

Numinbar Valley, with misty rain on the cliff faces

Finally at Natural Bridge and a short walk down to the waterfall

A well deserved lunch break at the Roadside Cafe

Baby it's cold outside
