Budgie - a photo on Flickriver

Budgie

            We had a fun day yesterday wandering around "Budgie". Go ahead and view the photos in full size so you can take a virtual dip, hunt for shells among the pebbles, stroll along the soft sand, or sprint up the sand dunes at the wild and wonderfully untouched Budgewoi Beach.

Affectionately known as "Budgie" by us Central Coast residents, this 8km stretch of pristine coastline is actually a collection of several smaller beaches: Red Ochre Beach, Birdie Beach, Budgewoi Beach, and Lake Beach. Nestled between these beaches and two lakes, Lake Munmorah & Budgewoi Lake, is the cool little lakeside village of Budgewoi. It has a great little pub with nice battered flathead and chips on the menu too, perfect with a cold beer ;)

And if an 8km beach walk doesn’t quite tire you out, there’s always the 17km foreshore path around the lake, complete with picnic spots, bridges, parks, BBQ areas, loos (& let's face it, we all tend to need them these days ;) and plenty of rest areas with breathtaking views.

Yesterday's adventure pushed my total number of culled photos for July and August to over 1,000. I’m beginning to think I’m going to need a bigger disk than the 2TB external drive I’m currently using for RAW file storage!  At this rate, I might need a storage intervention! How do you keep up with managing all your photo storage? How do you keep up with managing all your photo storage?

Thanks for the kind comments, they are always much appreciated :)
