Kangaroo Valley 🦘

What was supposed to be just a layover turned into a five-day adventure in and around Sydney. With a rented car and a few camping essentials - mattress, blanket, pot, utensils, and a gas bottle - we were ready to explore.

The first day was all about escaping the city. Grand Pacific Drive took us along coastal views, ending with a night on Austinmer Beach. Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean was worth every bit of sand in the car. Breakfast at a local surfer café completed the perfect start to the day.

Next stop: Kangaroo Valley. Winding roads led to Belmore Falls, a double-tiered waterfall. Driving through the valley, the long-awaited moment finally happened - a wild kangaroo, just casually hopping across our path🦘

The night was spent at Bendeela Recreation Campground, right by Kangaroo River. A quick swim in the cool water, followed by rain, gave the perfect excuse to stay in the car, sip some wine, and listen to the raindrops. And just when the day seemed over - more kangaroos appeared, and then, wombats!

With all Australian wildlife encounters checked off the list, the trip already feels like a success. And it’s only just begun.Leggi altro
