After breakfast in Narooma it was time to pack up, pay the bill, and .... take some photos!
Well, actually just one. This is from the front lawn of the Whale
Motel, Narooma, looking north up the coast - headlands as
far as the eye can see. And beautiful sandy beaches.
Yesterday and today were more like summer days, then late Autumn.
Temperatures were in the high 20s, and in fact I didn't have
any clothing suitable for such weather - that sort of temperature
is just not expected in early May.
Bendalong is near the southern end of Jarvis Bay; it's mostly
a holiday town, although with some permanent residents.
Yvonne and Peter have had a caravan there for many years,
and it has become the de-facto family holiday destination.
But the caravan had reached the end of its days, so a new cabin
was purchased late last year, and installed in February 2007.
And this is it.
This also includes a few additional items, not part of the original
purchase. Cameron re-attached the verandah, raising it in the
process. And also installed the green wooden slats around the
base, to keep critters out of the underneath.
Closer view of the verandah.
It was a great plan, but... The Cambewarra Lookout was closed for renovations, and there was roadworks just past there which blocked traffic intermittently! And I missed seeing the turnoff to Fitzroy Falls! So all in all, this was not a great plan.
Once on the Hume Highway, the journey was easy and quite speedy, and that takes me within a few blocks of home by freeway, so was an added bonus.
So after 6 nights away, catching up with friends, and enjoying some mountain scenery, I was back home. Much refreshed too.
