CUDMIRRAH AND SURROUNDS - 19 TO 21 APRIL 2021

 

Cudmirrah

19 April

We left Durras and drove to Dolphin Point, where we caught up with a long time friend Clive. It was enjoyable sharing stories of people from our common past and what was happening to each of us in the present.

Next stop was catching up with another long time friend Harry, who lived in Ulladulla. Great stories of his Indo surf adventures and Bondi Rescue gossip.

Back on the road and we settled into a camp site at Cudmirrah, A nice spot with a short walk to the beach. There were a few surfers out enjoying the late, late afternoon session.

20 April

A morning walk on the beach. The water was warm and there were a variety of shells along the shoreline. There was a small surf with an occasional wave. There were two out which was one too many.

We had a bike ride to the local café for coffee. After the coffee, we were feeling good so we followed the road/tracks around the Swan Lake. The road ended up becoming the beginning of the ride to Monument Beach. We followed the road for awhile and ended near a group of crossroads and tracks. We followed one of the narrow tracks. It was an long awesome ride along a flat flowy track that looped back on itself a number of times. We followed another awesome track that flowed gradually downhill to Berrara. Top ride!

21 April

Time to move onwards!

AUSTRALIA - SHOALHAVEN COAST - 20 to 22 january 2014

 20th January 2014 Tuesday

We packed up and headed north with a short stop at Moruya Heads. Nice views to the beaches north and the rocks below.

We reached Bendalong and got a nice campsite at Bendalong Beach Tourist Park with partial views of boat beach.

I went for two surfs on Bendalong Beach. It was fun peaky waves. I had a good time. Jacinta was baking on the beach.

21st January 2014 Wednesday

Surf not looking good this morning! We drove to Ulladulla for coffee and a wander around the harbour and the lighthouse.

Next, headed towards Morton National Park. It was a long dusty, dirt road. We stopped at a lookout and the picnic area. The view was excellent and the rocks around the area had deep crevises. The picnic was strewn with large boulders giving the appearance of lots of paths and add to this the rainforest vegetation and it was turned out to be  very special place.

We went to Granite Falls which had very little water but was still impressive!

We continued on to look at the waterfront and Kiama and Shellharbour, then we visited our friends Gordon and Meryl in Shellharbour. It was a big night of eating, drinking and catching up.

22nd January 2014 Thursday

Beacon and I went for a surf at ‘The Farm’. It was okay and we enjoyed ourselves. Then it was back on the road and home!
