Hawks Nest cruise - 30/5/10 (Newcastle area)

[Brown Bear]

Hi guys n girls,

We recently spent a very enjoyable day out at Hawks Nest and thought it would make a great lunch cruise destination!

So... meet up at Heatherbrae pies round 10:00 , Sunday May 30th.

Cruise up the highway, then take the Tea Gardens exit, through to Hawks Nest and pull up for lunch just behind the surf club - there's electric BBQ facilities, a cafe / bistro across the road and a playground for the littlies... something for everyone!

Hope to see you there,

Matt

We will be there for a pie if it rains too Reddo.
but I'm hoping that the rain clouds will be blown away by then, and we will get out for a good cruise.

Is it any wander they call this part of the world a Blue water wanderland... Who said we where in for a Cyclone today

Trish and i split and headed to Karuah for fish and chips as well as a sniff around the typically overpriced Antique shop with no early Holden bits to be found.

Thanks for a great day out guys.
