The famous Kiama Blow hole in the wet and not blowing.

Well I made it through Sydney pretty easily thanks to google maps pointing me to M2 and M7 motorways. My qld e-tag beeped in all the right spots so hopefully I don't end up with a fine when i get back.
It started raining as I got onto the Hume highway and got worse the closer i got to wollongong. The weather radar suggests it should clear by about 3pm. So i'm heading onto Nowra to find a camp site and hopefully i won't have to put the tent up in the rain. There's no ocean swell here at Kiama so the blow hole is not blowing.

Munmorah SCA

Went for a drive to munmorah state conservation area for the day. The photo is of Frazers beach and there were heaps of people surfing and swimming. I tried to camp here but it was all booked out. Tomorrow I'm off to try and navigate through Sydney to get down around Wollongong for sunday night

Just started raining

Well my good luck couldn't last for the whole holiday. It has started bucketing it down and the ducks outside my tent are loving it. The weather radar for the Newcastle area suggests it shouldn't last too long. At least i'm nice and dry in my tent, unlike the neighbours who are still trying to set up their fly.

Swansea for a few days

Arrived at Swansea about lunch time and setup camp in a nice shady spot at the c'van park. It's bloody hot (about 35 C) and there is supposed to be a big storm tonight.
I'll look around Swansea this arvo and then do a day trip to Munmorah nat. park tomorrow. Then on sunday i'll navigate across sydney(hopefully my gateway tag works on the toll roads here) to somewhere near Wollongong, where i'll stay another few days.

Sandon river

Camped at sandon river in the yuraygir nat park. The view was great. Left early just before the rain came in. Morning tea and shopping in coffs harbour. Heading to somewhere around port stephens for the evening.

Port stephens area

In port stephens area at the moment staying at Anna Bay. The weather has been perfect with lovely sunny days, but the wind comes up in the afternoon and you need to find shelter. This area is a mix of nat. Parks, old fibro beach shacks and million dollar mansions on the beach. I suspect in holiday times it would be almost impossible to go anywhere as there would be so many people. Its also not particularly cheap to stay here.

South east nsw coast expedition

The car is packed and ready to go, so i'm setting off at about 9 am. Probably just a shortish drive to Yuragir nat park.

Bye Jeff.
