Rising Tide 2025 - Newcastle

Second Day of Blockade.

More coal ships delayed, and a lot of committed protesters making it happen. Awesome work from so many people.

Did circle back to see what the communal weaving project looked like. 3 woven panels that will be a special carpet. Not sure if it's totally finished yet but i love it! #RisingTide #RisingTide2025 #weaving

Forest panel. Light greens dotted with darker puffs and stripes (like trees or vegetation) and brown.

Another panel with sand on the left (browns and beiges) and water on the right.

Blue panel meant to represent ocean waves. Lots of different blues with a white edge that curves in and out like a wave hitting the sand.

Watched the kayaks get sorted in the park earlier before heading to the beach where they'll launch. #RisingTide #RisingTide2025 #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU

Yellow inflatable kayaks with wranglers in the park. Lots of dry grass with a few scattered tall trees like Norfolk pines.

The Tiring Ride to Rising Tide.

Day 3 - Sassafras to Nowra

'Age has wearied him, and the years condemned.'

Although another cracker of a day for riding, especially as it was mostly downhill, the knees are packing it in so I'll be catching the train from here to Newcastle. Booked in for a sports physio on Thu to do a 'bike fitting' as I am 99% confident the new seat was not installed in *exactly the same place as the previous. Hence .... angry tendons.

Am also confident I can pull volunteer shifts at Rising Tide (from Thu arvo, after the physio) doing 'stuff' ..... while not out paddling a kayak, taunting the constabulary.

Nowra is a lovely, sleepy town. And the campsite is awesome. $25 a night (that's Aussie dollars, not real ones) and full of laid back residents. Shoalhaven Caravan Park.

The Tiring Ride to Rising Tide. :-)

Day Two - Tarago to Sassafras. (The purple leg in the map below).

A beautiful cycling day. Pleasantly cool with light drizzle. Rather large hills though, and I suspect I have triggered some tendonitis in the knees.

Overnight was a lovely, remote campsite 4km off the main road. With no car noise and no mobile reception. Bliss!
