Sorry about the non-Subaru content - I don't own one yet. It does involve camping so I guess that makes it relevant!
Last month I had some annual leave to clear, and rather than sit around on my arse for the week, I decided to head off and see parts of NSW I'd never seen before. I only had a really vague plan - head along the South Coast, then west. I filled my boot up with camping gear and food for a week and took off on Saturday June 28. Here's how it went
So... here it begins..
Saturday 28/6/08
Left Sydney, odometer 183892
Headed through the Royal National Park to somewhere in the direction of Bega. Weatherwise it was a great day for a drive - clear sky, not too cold, not too much traffic.
Otford, looking south to Sea Cliff Bridge and Wollongong in the distance
And the bridge itself
The drive south from Wollongong is picturesque but tiresome with all the little townships along the way with their 50 zones and locals who never seem to be in any sort of rush to do anything.. I eventually stopped in at Lake Conjola for lunch. I couldn't work out how to get to the water so I actually stopped at a picnic area in the local caravan park, but no-one seemed to mind, least of all the local ducks and kangaroos..
Like all the spots I went through along the south coast - very pretty but during the holiday periods I'm sure are totally overrun with tourists.
So, after some sandwiches and a coffee, I made tracks for Bermagui. From here on the roads were dead quiet.
