Hi lovelies,
What a lovely week.
We arrived at Kalaru last Saturday and we have seen some wonderful things,
just been slack at night. 😊
Our trips this week included a drive north along the coast. We headed to the farthest point first and this
was Camel Beach and Camel Rock.
A bit of
fun really. The beach was beautiful,
and
while the rock probably did resemble more of a camel a number of years ago.
We then headed back down the coast to Bermagui. We stopped
at the breakwater,
at Fishermans Wharf,
at Bermagui Point
and then onto Blue Pool.
We both thought the water around the pool was
bluer than pool, but perhaps it was because the pool was in shade.
We also took a trip west.
This one took us to Pipers Lookout.
This is on the Snowy Mountain Highway and gives a lovely view out over
the Bega Valley. The trip up was quite
steep and I was not really looking forward to the trip back down. God is good and kept me distracted. We had gone for a walk on the track before
heading back down and the high altitude along with the bracing air brought on
an asthma attack, so I was a little preoccupied while Robbie headed back down
the hill.
We stopped at the bottom of the mountain for a break at
Bemboka. This little town has a pottery
display, alas this was not open on the day.
Breath back we headed for Candelo.
What a gorgeous historical village this is.
The shops and buildings are so cute
Our final trip was south to Merimbula. A stunning seaside town with lots of oyster
farms,
a gorgeous bay
and beautiful beach. It also has some cool pelican sculptures.
There is a drive along the north side of the bay out to the
aquarium and café, and Bay Beach is also lovely, with the most amazing red
rocks.
Robbie did manage to go fishing a couple of times at the
Wharf in Tathra.
Lots of fish caught and
he even got to keep one.
We cooked the
salmon on the BBQ. It was not bad, but
not something we would rush to eat again.
Certainly not as light as bream and whiting.
The weather has been quite cool and the end of the week a
little windy. Most nights brought negative temps. One of the disadvantages of
being south for winter is that there is not as much daylight to get things done.
This week was a little sad as well in that at the beginning
of the week a dear family friend passed away.
One of the things we are learning about living on the road is that it is
hard not being able to help when family and friends are struggling. We are thankful for modern communications and
being able to keep in touch even though we cannot be there for physical hugs.
All for now lovelies.
Stay safe and keep enjoying life.
