The Snout of the Crocodile




My neighbors here have triplets that are in second grade at the school. They live just down the hill from me so we’ve visited a few times and have gone hiking together as well.  The triplets think that the peninsula on the other side of Willoughby Bay resembles a crocodile laying in the water.  The end of crocodile’s snout is called Hudson Point and has steep rock faces that drop into the sea and are of a light colored mineral that reflects the late afternoon light in unusual ways. At this time of the year, the sun rises just over the snout and a few nights ago the moon did the same.  It is an amazing feature that never looks the same each time you see it.
