6/7/2019 Day 11 Kiama to Sydney





Kendall Beach Kiama, just after sunrise...



The famous Kiama Blowhole ....



One of Kiama’s Ocean pools.....



The same pool after a set of large waves...



Around midday we arrived in Sydney. After we 
returned the van Phil drove us to our apartment 
in Potts Point...



Famous fountain across the road...



Once we were settled into our apartment, Pete 
and I joined Phil, Carlo and the kids at their localpark to kick the footy and watch the sunset over 
 the city.





Lucian, me and Macario... loved spending time 
with these dear boys.

5/7/2019 Day 10 Tuross Head to Kiama





Awoke this morning to the sound of raindrops 
on our van’s roof. The view outside was not too 
exciting. Still, we have been pretty lucky up until 
today.


After breakfast we set off as usual... driving 
through forest and farm land. There are so many 
little towns.... sometimes only 10 km apart. 
Above is Moruya... so many of the towns have 
been able to retain their old buildings.



Dolphin Point .. amazing black rock and big
surf....



Watched these kids risking life and limb on the 
rocks and in the surf.


Morning tea stop was in Ulladulla...the sun was 
trying to come out...at the end of the beach is 
another Rock Pool.



Further up the coast is the beach that is 
said to have the whitest sand in the world...
Hyams Beach. The sand really was very white.



The one place we really wanted to visit was 
Booderee National Park... there are many tracks 
to walk and pristine beaches to see.



Murray’s Beach... absolutely breath taking... and no one in sight! How lucky were we that the sun 
reappeared and the rain stopped.


... and when we weren’t looking at the water 
we could turn around and see these 
magnificent gums.


Still in the National Park, we visited Cave Beach


Again... the fine sand and the reflections... 


A short walk around the headland and we were 
at Bherwerre Beach...see Pete?



Pete took this one...we decided we would 
return to Booderee one day.


....drove through more green countryside... and 
the rain returned.


Kendall Beach Kiama is where we are staying 
tonight...

4/7/2019 Day 9 Bermagui to Tuross Head


All along the coast it is either stunning cliffs or 
beautiful sandy beaches....this is from a lookout 
near Bermagui’s famous Blue Pool.



...an iconic rock pool at the base of a cliff. It 
is rated number six out of eight of the best
ocean rock pools in the world. When we arrived 
it was overcast but after a short while the sun 
came out.



Further around the headland we walked down tothe water’s edge and explored the rock pools.





Bermagui’s Fishermen’s Wharf...the Continental 
Shelf is just twenty kms offshore, making 
Bermagui the closest point to the Shelf on the 
Australian east coast. Most of their catch goes 
up to Sydney. I had marlin for dinner last night.



... a lucky shot ...


Horseshoe Bay... one of the many beaches 
in and around Bermagui.


Morning tea stop was at Lake Wallaga, one of 
the largest coastal lakes in NSW. The mountain 
behind is Mt Dromedary.


...spotted gums are everywhere in this part of 
the world...



From the Narooma cemetery you get this 
fabulous view of the Glasshouse Rocks. If you 
follow a track down the cliff you can get to the 
beach for a better look.






This was such a marvellous area to explore...
the colours of the rocks, their shapes and sizes
and the mighty waves that came rolling towards us...and the squeaky sand which gives such 
amazing reflections.




Tonight we are in Tuross Head, literally a few 
paces from Tuross Lake. Bliss.
