Morning Boardwalk Walk
2 giugno 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
This morning we set off for a walk along the Boardwalk trail reasonably close to where we are staying. What a lovely morning - we saw mangroves, oyster beds, lovely homes, wild lilies and lots of birds. It is very well laid out and clearly, the locals and visitors like to walk, run and fish along here. The sun was shining again and we came back for another tiny walk up the road to the boatshed cafe for a coffee. Life is 😊Leggi altro

Seafood Lunch
2 giugno 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
This afternoon we drove out onto the other peninsular and had lunch at the Aquarium & Wharf restaurant. It was quite nice at 7/10 - my barramundi was great, Craig's seafood linguine was pretty good but the scallops were 'yukky'! We enjoyed ourselves anyway and after lunch, we spent some time on the wharf speaking to a young fisherperson catching Australian salmon one after the other - it was quite remarkable. We also saw several dolphins and the tails of a seal. A drive around the residential area exposed many lovely homes - all would have great views. Home to rest, plan and pack. Another great day.Leggi altro

Tilba, Narooma and Ulladulla Drive
3 giugno 2022, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
This morning we left our lovely spot at Merimbula. We drove through Bega - not worth it. Then on to Tilba Tilba which is a historic 'hippy like' town - very authentic. We bought cheese and other food for dinner and had a coffee - a lovely spot. Then onto Narooma which is beautifully set along the beach. A nice drive was followed by a very pleasant walk along the Mill Bay Boardwalk and we saw two very large stingrays. Then we drove to Bateman's Bay - also rather touristy/skanky although we did enjoy the fish & chips lunch. Ultimately, we arrived at the "Harbour View Apartments" - another nice place to stop but just for one night.Leggi altro

Viaggiatore I think I stayed in Bateman’s Bay years ago and it certainly wasn’t skanky. Shame you thought it was.

Ulladulla Walk to Wharf
3 giugno 2022, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Once we arrived at Ulladulla we decided to do a walk straight away as we are staying in tonight and eating munchy bread, cheese, and so on. It's been a long day. We walked down to the wharf area - whilst it was mainly a working wharf the breakwater was good to see and clearly needed. We shopped and here we are at home - warm, sated and a bit tired!Leggi altro

Ulladulla Morning Walk & Mollymook!
4 giugno 2022, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
This morning after breakfast we went out before checking out in order to find a walk near to the Warden Lighthouse - it was closed so we looked for another beach walk - also tricky. The recent floods haven't helped! Eventually, we found a wildflower reserve which was short but pretty. We had to check out by 10.30 am so we did that and headed off to nearby Mollymook to have a coffee. What great views and such a gorgeous beach.Leggi altro

Rick Steins for Lunch & Huskisson
4 giugno 2022, Australia ⋅ 🌙 14 °C
Next, we drove up the hill of Mollymook to Bannisters which is Rick Stein's restaurant. It is in a magnificent setting and we had a wonderful lunch - seafood mainly and a lovely creme brulee. Truly delicious. After lunch, we then drove to Huskisson which is our next destination for the next 3 nights. We are staying at Bomborra Cottage and Airbnb. It's beautifully appointed and the area is lovely being located in Jervis Bay. It's been a long day but we managed some basic shopping and are staying in tonight.Leggi altro

BUNDALON ART GALLERY ETC
5 giugno 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
This morning we set out by car to go to the Bundalon Art Gallery. This is a very new gallery with interesting architecture donated and set up by Arthur Boyd and his wife Yvonne. Along the way, we drove through Nowra - which seemed too big for us to consider looking at. The gallery showcased modern art - including quite a few Boyd sketches - not our favourites but interesting and weird. The bridge-building built there is brilliant and there are magnificent views everywhere you look. The Shoalhaven River is new to us and SOO big. We had coffee there and really enjoyed it. We had wanted to drive up to Kangaroo Valley Road but the roads are closed due to the floods. In fact, the roads have been terrible generally.Leggi altro

JERVIS BAY MANGROVE WALK
5 giugno 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
On our way home we stopped at Jervis Bay to research the Mangrove Walk - turned out it was quite short (10 minutes), so we did it then. What a magical, clean-looking area - most enjoyable. I have also attached a few more views at Bundalon which were all wonderful.Leggi altro

Huskisson to Vincentia a walk
6 giugno 2022, Australia ⋅ 🌬 11 °C
This morning we took it easy and eventually went for a long walk along the beach path From our home in Huskisson all the way to Vincentia and back again. We saw many beautiful views of the beach and several magnificent homes facing the beach. Whilst it didn’t ruin the walk, it was also extremely windy as it seems to be all over Australia today. we had a coffee at Vincentia and Craig bought some $20 tracksuit pants which he loves. Altogether, it was over 12,000 steps.
After a rest at home, we drove into Huskisson centre to have lunch at The Five Little Pigs. It was a wonderful meal, only spoiled by some bad news of our friend Di Jackson who has been diagnosed with dementia. A nice little walk around the town was enjoyed and then home to pack, plan and relax:)Leggi altro

Drive to Sydney - Yeh!
7 giugno 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
This morning we left our lovely home in Huskisson and drove mainly up the freeway to Sydney. It was busy but there were many pretty areas to drive through especially once we started seeing the Blue Mountains (we think?). The only problem we had was finding a petrol station that actually had a toilet we could use. So we stopped at a Mcdonald's, which also had an unfunctional toilet but at least there was a petrol station within walking distance. Eventually, Craig was his usual brilliant driver self and we found the pre-booked, expensive car park. However, we can leave the car there for four days. We are staying at the Rendezvous Hotel in The Rocks and we are on the top (6th floor) with a magnificent view of the Opera House and also the Sydney Harbor Bridge. This afternoon we had lunch at a good restaurant with the misfortunate name of THE MORRISON. However, it was like a New York restaurant and our food, etc was great - chicken/salad and crab linguine. We next went to Georg Jensen to check out earrings for me for the wedding and also went to David Jones and I bought a nice chiffon navy overlay jacket for the wedding!Leggi altro
