Sydney has this wonderful mixture of old colonial buildings and modern architecture. They side side by side sit comfortably |
Circular Quay was having some facelift work done to it |
The Sydney Opera House was covered in a red dust left over from the dust 'storm' earlier in the year. |

It was such a hot day and strange to see everywhere decorated for Christmas, the snowmen were the weirdest sight - how come they didn't melt? |

We resisted the impulse to paddle! | |

We left Sydney and headed down the coast. Down onto the Grand Pacific Drive and into the Royal National Park, we stopped briefly at Audley. |
|
Heading down the coast road we came across this small reserve, a tribute to a local school teacher |
|
Mike and his friends built a boat in his memory 'Comradeship' |
From here we drove on the spectacular 'Sea Cliff Bridge' along the coast | |
We stopped for coffee and a bun in Shellharbour |
Taking the scenic route through the Macquarie Pass and up to the Fitzroy Falls ...woo hoo... they had water |
|
Whilst here we watched the fire-fighting helicopter fly back and forth refilling his water bucket |
We walked to the Twin Falls...the water didn't get this far! ....they were dry! | |
By mid afternoon the blue sky had been covered with cloud we arrived at Huskisson and the beautiful Jervis Bay Marine Park ('I can point') | |
|
After a long yet wonderful day we arrived at South Durras and Murrumamrang National Park for a cold beer |
|
The view from our villa |
It was Australia's version of Centre Parcs | |
|
Yes it's just a coffee! |
We drove to Pebbly Beach famous for its kangaroos that play on the beach. We arrived to be greeted by Red Roselles. |
I think the kangaroos were having a day off! |
'Billy' on the beach |
It's busy! |

All good things come to an end...... we arrive back to our villa to find we had a flat tyre...where are the 'roos to help when you need them? |
