Heading South

We were woken by the forest birds and boy were they having a party. We russelled up a delicious breakfast of bacon, eggs ... or was it museli?

On the road again we headed to Pebbly Beach, famous for its 'surfing kangaroos'. The kangaroos come down to the beach and play in the surf, sadly there were none out today.

We continued on to Bateman's Bay to have a picnic by the river. There was lots of yachts floating on their moorings in the river. After lunch we headed along the coastal road, through many surfing villages. Once back on the main highway, we headed through an old town with a pretty little church ... and a cheese factory! We had to sample a few and they were delicious.

Next we went to checkout a recommended snorkelling spot called potato point. Unfortunately the waves were rolling in, so no snorkelling today. We continued on to a national park to find a campsite.

The campsite was in a lovely spot by a lake. We set up the tent, unpacked the chairs and settled down for dinner. Then, the bushes nearby started to rustle and a bounding sound grabbed our attention. We looked around and there stood a kangaroo. It stayed for 20 minutes, eating, scratching and snooping around. Truly awesome!
