so how about a sunrise start at Long Jetty
Followed by travelling to Wamberal/Avoca beach for some surf shots and beach shots

then to the Entrance for pelican feeding and afternoon tea :)

then whatever.... ??

I will have my car so i can fit in possibly 4 peeps

Sounds like a plan, I'm in...

I forgot to include that lunch will probably be at Wamberal/Avoca or we can travel to Terrigal find somewhere

oh and dont worry Owen, there will be multiple chances for coffee along the way

Thanks Lisa. btw what's the exact first meeting spot at Long Jetty. Do you have an address or whatever?

I was thinking at the actual jetty, I think Brett wanted to get some shots of sunrise over the jetty. Do you know where it is? If not, it is just off the main street going towards the entrance, I will find out the street for you

I see 2 Jettys on Google Earth. The one on the right is slightly longer.

There is 2 jettys which apparently both are long
Parry's Jetty and Watkins Jetty. What if we meet at Parry Jetty which is off the Entrance Rd (turn left onto Venice St, go to the end)

Total crap. Winds have gusted to 106 km/h at Nobbys today still averaging 78 km/h now. The rain is expected to keep up for the next 4 days at least.

06/07/2007 09:33:58 PM · #37

06/07/2007 09:35:39 PM · #38

ok after some thought I think that Long Jetty would be better for sunset photos rather than sunrise (sorry Brett)

So, what if we start at Terrigal Beach for sunrise (lots of rocks and water I think this would be a better place)

So, heres the plans, let me know if it doesn't suit anyone

Terrigal - 5.30am (meet at front of crown Plaza) for sunrise shoot

stay at Terrigal for breakfast, then onto Avoca beach for surfing shots and general candids. Maybe stay here for lunch??

Leave open for suggestions??

then onto The Entrance for pelican feeding at 3.30pm. (will need to get there a bit earlier to secure good photo taking spots) say around 2.45-3pm.

Then we can do Long Jetty (5 mins up the road) for sunset photos for those who want to stay around.

Thoughts???
