Spent new years day laying out at Clovetty and climbing the rock cliffs and frolicking about in ther natural wading pools. Clear site of Bondi and down the coast.
Sunday trekked down the grand pacific highway to Stanwell where they were hangliding from the cliffs, then several picturesque stops at the breathtaking beaches with unique lava rock erosions. Then on to Wollongong for fish n chips (flathead tails, calamari, tiger prawn). then the blowhole in Kiama.
Camped down in Gerringong, took off this morning & had brekky and cappys in Berry at a country sourdough bakery. Spent most of the day in Minnamurra Rainforest up the mountain to the falls and back down. Calves are a bit tight but eyes and mind are very happy.
From there finished out the southerly trek with the treetop walk in Illawarra, a series of catwalks that takes you up over the canopy looking down on the valley. That was bit foggy but still some spectacular views.
Finished out the day at the Robertsons Pie shop with more cappys, a meat pie, and smiley custard. Taste buds are ecstatic.
On back to Sydney, via some lush rolling hills thru Jambaroo and other townships.
Locals seem to find my accent as colorful as I do theirs. Its a pleasant exchange of intrigue, and a blissful saturation of culture, sights sounds and atmosphere for me thus far. I will upload some photos when I land a moment thats not on the move.
Its 1am here, and off to bed. In the morning Im trekking north to Blue Mountains for the day. I look forward to being again well spent, numb with contentment, metaphorically walking around inside the postcard.
