Kiama Blow hole and district

Hi all,
A few more places that we scene here at Kiama.

We ventured down the coast from Sydney 2 days ago during the wild weather. We stopped to view some massive waves along the coast. Winds were up towards 100km/hr on Tuesday. It rained and bucketed down on Wednesday as well. The van sprung a leak and some our bedding got wet.


Our van spot

Yesterday we venture out to see the big blow hole and the lighthouse here at Kiama. Lovely scenes and some good sights as the swell caused the blowhole to spit out some plumes of water. That was it for yesterday as the weather was bad.

Today was a great day. Sunny and little wind to speak of. We set of to see the little blow hole. That even more interesting than the big one. It makes a big woosh sound which caught us of guard and scared the heck out of us. Imagine jet plane passing overhead.

We have started a channel to put up videos that cant really go onto the blog. Subscribe if you like to see some other places and things.

Then we had a look around a bit further south at some spots and lookouts.
There were some excellent views to the North and south of the region from up on Saddleback Mountain.

A magical day at Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers

Today was our planned helicopter ride to see the glacier and have a snow landing. We were a tad worried as the weather report the night before was not all that encouraging. We had a bit of a slow start and checked in at the flight desk at 10am as requested. The advice was, the flight would go ahead - however with the changing weather conditions the snow landing would be determined on a minute by minute basis. If the landing was scrapped we would have additional flight time added to keep our trip to the same length. Honestly we were just happy to be able to take off. Safety briefing done, the loading crew led us to the helipads. They were pretty cool. Looked a little like landing pads for space craft. The pads are made from the rocks that make up a large part of the landscape of the area. We were given our assigned seats and Thomas (our pilot) got us sorted and...

Three days in the snow.

Hi lovelies, We have had the most amazing 3 days at the Perisher Valley Snowfields. Warning this is a very text heavy post. Photos are limited, you cannot take many while you ski/board. Robbie will have a video soon. On Monday we headed up just for a drive and to see what was around. The day was perfect. Not too windy and bright and sunny. We parked at Bullock Flats and caught the Skitube to Perisher. This is really the best way to get there. Nice highway all the way, and while the train is a little expensive at $55.00 per head return it is preferable to an extra hour drive on roads that may be a little less than ideal. There is also only limited parking at Perisher so the train is the way to go. We had a bit of a look around Perisher before heading off to Blue Cow, again by Skitube. It was so lovely to wander around. We were thankful that we hired boots as it wa...
