Tilba is a great place to visit, it has always been a little kept secret until the TV series River cottage australia started to air back in the early 2000's.

That show has now ceased but the town still holds it old school charm. Well worth the effort to see if your in that neck of the woods.

Next stop Bodalla, went to the cheese joint opposite the pub






Then off to Batemans Bay for more oysters

Stopped off at Fatboy’s - that’s his forum name although I don’t think he has been on here in years, we have spoken on the phone heaps of times over the years but never met face to face

Parked up last night in Mollymook, went to the golf club for dinner and it was PACKED - had a nice view from the room and the locals were friendly this morning




Had breakfast at Milton in a bakery which got me to thinking, why don’t bakeries in tourist areas do a party pie pie sized tasting paddle like the breweries do???


Anyway , we left there and went to the Thong tree in Lake Conjola to donate a dead thugg

Farewell old friend

Nice to meet the locals. Geez that shed might need a new roof I reckon??

You’re not wrong……

Anyway after such an emotional moment at the thong tree I needed a beer so we headed to Sussex Inlet and the Swordfish Brewery - fun fact - Sussex Inlet is the pothole capital of Australia the road in was AWFUL






Went to Hiskisson after that and had another one at Buds Tavern, had lots of old beeranalia on the walls , worth a look

If you are near the coast tomorrow blacky there is a big swell forecast, dangerous surf. Could be spectacular. I’ve surfed at Mollymook, golf course reef. Very nice spot.

[Blacky]

Going to stop at Kiama blohole tomorrow, hopefully there will be a decent swell so it going off

[Blacky]

Not a lot of swell unfortunately- stopped at Gerringong , found a tomb with a view at the local lookout



Then on to Kiama to look at the blowholes





Then we followed the “tourist drive” which took us straight through the middle of Wollongong
Traffic everywhere even on a Sunday morning
Stopped at Bald Hill cafe - came for a coffee and stayed for the bike show, there must have been 100 bikes there.
Ended up sitting at the only spare seat in the place and got to chatting with the bloke next to us - for those of you who knew Torsten Steffen it turns out this bloke was his brother!!! Small world.


Then went to Sydney via the back road through the National Park rather than the freeway - much nicer


Got to Sydney and went to my sisters place - the traffic is HORRIBLE
I don’t know how people live here …..

Spent a lot of caravan holidays at the Kiama blowhole as a kid. Nice part of the world.

The national park run is infamous for “spirited driving”. Number One Son made several land speed record attempts there in the FB when he was on his P-plates.

Cheers,
