Kylie's Beach Crowdy Bay NP

Checked into great camping spot called Kylie's Beach just along from Diamond Head, south of  Port Macquarie .(NP's are very expensive $10 per head and body per night for cold showers and drop toilets) Swam in the ocean and then found out there was a shark attack 3 kms or so down the coast. No more swimming.

Had a great pushy ride to Kylie's Hut and Indian Head Beach and then walked to the natural arch. Great views and sunny at last. Kylie's Hut was built during WW11 by Kylie Tennant and an old fella called Ernie Metcalf who owned the land. This is where she wrote a book all about the area called the Man on the Headland.
John has gone fishing - hope we have fish for dinner.Nope no fish, but we now have worms with which to fish and lots of excellent advice from a lovely old man called Bob from Sydney.

Laurieton

Whilst staying in Sydney and seeing Melanie (and moving her many whitegoods) we had a great time joining her at work in the Tank Stream Bar and visiting all the other awesome bars and restaurants owned by her employers, Mr John & Merivale. Staying at her flat at Edgecliff made it so easy to get to town. Sad to say goodbye but then headed up to Central Coast to see Mum and Sandra. Stayed there for 2 lovely days and then headed over to See Ann & Steve and Billy Jory at Bateau Bay.

We then travelled up the coast with Ann and Steve to Laurieton and booked into Brigadoon Van Park. Had a great couple of nights with them chatting about old times and our new adventure. The park had amazing facilities including a very refreshing pool complete with rock waterfall. The boys took the tinny out for a few hours and then we cooked a great BBQ dinner.
Decided to visit Dooragan National park and viewed the lookout from the top of the mountain. Amazing views, nearly 360 degrees, right down to Taree in the south

and right up to Port Macquarie in the North.
Finally after saying another sad goodbye we travelled back down to Diamond Head and Kylie's Beach camping ground in Crowdy Bay National Park. Camping again, Yay.!!

Bundeena

Rained a bit, bit wet, packed and travelled to Nerriga Road. Great now it is tarred. The views are amazing (if if wasn't raining) lots of waterfalls and rock formations, excellent road surface to Nowra. Stuck to the coast after cruising up and down Mt Ousley heh heh heh!!! Amazing piece of enginering at the Ocean Cliff Bridge (got to travel this one!) Saw a beautiful creek and wildlife ( deer) on the way to Royal National park and leading us to the beautiful place of Bundeena on the south side of Sydney.

Wog Wog - Moreton National Park

Today we walked 6 kms to a big rock, spotted a local indigeneous and walked back, realised the sunnies were missing and walked another 4 kms return looking for them - no luck - too bad they were worth at least $10.00 definetly worth the search. Awesome views down along the valley right back to Batemans Bay.

Getting ready and leaving

Much work to be done to truck, water tanks and fuel tanks added as well as many other atkinisations. Two weeks till we leave - hope the rain stops soon.Finally...... leaving after an amazing Seaside Fair thanks to the great organisational skills of my wonderful friend, Christine. What a hot day it was and about time too. Travelled through rainbow valley to Wog Wog camp site at Morton National Park just before Braidwood. Got there at dusk, lit the fire, of course, and drank beer!!!.
