Rock Art Port Macquarie actually began as an art competition in 1995 & gradually evolved into a fascinating outdoor gallery.
Rock Art Port Macquarie
Sadly after a small amount of complaints 12 in 10 years the rock art is now banned. It’s crazy how a few idiots can spoil things for the majority, what a shame the council won’t hold a vote on the issue.

Two lovers leave their mark to celebrate their engagement.
The mouth of the Hastings River
The river descends 1,040 metres (3,410 ft) over its 180 kilometres (110 mi) course. The Hastings river descends 1,040 metres from the Great Dividing Range over its 180 kilometres journey to the coast at Port Macquarie.
Look closely and you will see the rock art. 🙂
A beautiful day to catch a fish.
One of the locals has picked a beautiful day to fish off the rocks.
Waiting for the big one
Actually I spoke to the guy who said he was trying to catch some small fish to use for bait.
Apparently their life is a circus.
It says so on the rock. 🙂
A great tourist attraction
You can spend a very interesting hour or so checking out the Painted Rock Art Port Macquarie.
Port Macquarie
And so it goes on & on, a great addition to this terrific coastal town.
Port Macquarie’s Town Green
This is a superb park where people relax and enjoy the perfect environment beside the Hastings River.
Oxley oval
Just a short way along the road from the painted rocks is Oxly oval where cricket & football are played in beautiful surroundings.
A beautiful park beside the river.
A great place to relax have a picnic lunch and check out the Painted Rock Art Port Macquarie.
Fascinating clouds Pattaya Beach are one of the many advantages of living on Beach Road Pattaya overlooking the bay. I regularly see some of the most incredible cloud formation my 17th floor apartment in Markland condo. The photo above on November 20th 2021 shows some beautiful cumulus clouds hovering above Koh Larn island.
Blue sky, white clouds on a sunny day, life does not get better than this. I spend a few hours each day on my computer producing my photo blogs, not sure if it’s a hobby or an obsession, however it gives me great satisfaction to glance over the top of my monitor which I do one hundred times a day, and see the clouds rolling across the bay.
Looking north to Wongamat
Wongamat is the next beach north of Pattaya, there are many beach side condos and hotels overlooking a nice sandy beach. The yellow building in the foreground is the Dusit Thani five star hotel.
Koh Larn is a B30 40 minute ferry ride from Bali Hi wharf, the crystal clear water is a huge improvement over Pattaya.
Pattaya bay
Looking west at the Fascinating Pattaya clouds.
I’m sure you will all be pleased to hear I have just created a new profession, I am now a Cloudologist, who constantly participates in the art of Cloudology. Be impressed, be very impressed. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Looking south
The building under construction on the right is Centric Sea, it consists of two high rise and one low rise building containing 1000 condominiums. It in located in 2nd road and was completed early 2016.
Fascinating clouds Pattaya Beach
The “Ripleys Believe it or not” hot air balloon is actually anchored by a cable so customers won’t go flying of in the wild blue yonder.
June 29 2017
Nearly every day there is another interesting cloud to photograph.
Work stopped on the high rise about 8 years ago because of questions about building approvals and specifications. Hundreds of people would have paid deposits & by now be wondering if they have lost their money.
UPDATE, the owners declared bankruptcy in January 2017, so who knows what will happen now.
Angry clouds
Up to now I have featured the pretty clouds, now it’s time for some angry clouds. 🙂
John Fogerty has a question….
Looking south from my apartment
The building in the foreground is the A1 hotel which is shaped like a ship, the tall building is North Shore, the most upmarket condo block in central Pattaya.
Another awesome cloud formation
So many clouds to photograph and such little time. 🙂

Storm on the way
I love watching the tropical storms in Pattaya.
The sky was angry today my friends.
Well that’s how George Castanza would describe it. 🙂
A cloud with the “WOW” factor.
That’s Koh Larn on the left.
