Kiama is never dull

After three days of glorious weather and lots of sunshine we have sadly said goodbye and hit the road again. But before we left there were some things that we needed to do.

Two years ago almost to the day we had the first "Pensioners Lunch" at the Cargo Restaurant on the wharf and so we felt it only fair that we should relive the experience and make sure the high standards were still up to scratch - and they were.

We then took a quick trip up the highway to Wollongong as neither of us had ever been there before, and now we know why LOL. I am sure I will upset someone else by saying that. We headed north on the coast road to the fantastic Seabridge which is on the way to Sydney. Never fear we didn't make the mistake of actually entering Sydney. The Sea Bridge is 1.7 klms long and gives a fantastic view of the coast.

An absolute must if you are in the area is a visit to the Nan Tien Temple, just a couple of klms south of Wollongong. This wonderful Buddist Temple almost makes you think that you are back in Asia proper. After saying "Hi" to Budda and burning some incense to Health and safe travelling we headed back to our last night by the sea.

This morning we headed off to Lithgow. Again this is another town we haven't done before (being so close to a city is usually why we avoid these places) and from the info so far it looks like we might spend 3 or 4 days here as there seems to be some good walks etc. Right on cue, as we were setting up Miss G, down came the rain, so the travelling "Rain Show" continues LOL.

Okay, so now you know why you haven't been to Wollongong before, but don't keep us in suspenders, let us in on the secret, how about it?

Welcome aboard zipperdedoodah, I suspect you might be from the area LOL. Well my advice would be for everyone to drive through and see for themselves.
