Coast Trip #4

One of many Lizards Squealy found in the scrubby bush land surrounding 'One Walk For All'.

While down the coast we took the 'One Walk For All' on the northern headland reserve at Ulladullah. There are two tracks to take and they are filled with the art works of local artist: Noel Butler.

Beautiful carvings tell the history of Ulladullah from an indigenous perspective. There are some stunning views back towards Ulladullah harbour and town centre on the southern trail. The northern trail has beautiful views of our fave swimming spot Bogey Hole and Mollymook.





Squealy loved looking for lizards along the trails. He also found lots of local birds.

Coast Trip #3


















Left: Squealy getting ready to catch some waves @Wairo Beach, Lake Tabourie. Crampton Island in the background.

Right: Fuzzy running out of the surf. When did this boy start looking like a teenager?

While down the coast we went to see the Lennon Bros Circus. Wow what a fun filled evening. We weren't allowed to photograph anything during the show, so I only have a few pictures of the kids waiting to go into the big top. The kids just loved it. Esp. the part of the show where a monkey was riding a horse around. So funny. The kids got to have a pony ride at half time which they loved...and my stoopid camera decided to crap itself right at that point so the photos are terrible :(


















Hanging out with friends: at Ulladullah exercise park at Mollymook beach.


















Left: Squealy spent alot of time trying to either catch bugs or lizards :)

Right: Squealy rock climbing at the Mollymook Bogey Hole.

Our Fave spot is the Bogey Hole at Mollymook, which we found accidently during last years coast trip :)

The photo posted is of the Bogey Hole at low tide.
Husband Deluxe, our friends and the kids are splashing around having a ball.


One of Mollymook best natural features is the 'Bogey Hole', a large circular rock pool located on Mollymook Headland.
The Bogey Hole is a tidal pool and is very shallow at low tide. Its protective ring of rocks ensures a safe and fun environment for children and adults of all ages. Hours of entertainment can also be enjoyed whilst exploring its surrounding rock platform.
For those who can swim, and only during high tide, try launching from popular Dive Rock.
The safe shallow waters of the Bogey Hole make it an ideal location for families with young children and for those people who prefer a calm spot for a dip. It also offers safe snorkeling and is a great spot for a picnic day out.
You can easily walk around the headland from the southern end of Mollymook Beach to the Bogey Hole and Collers Beach or drive to its car park via Riversdale Avenue across Mollymook's Beachside Golf Course.

Coast Trip #2


















While away we caught up with friends for the day at Nowra. Jen and I visited the Jindyandy Mill Scrapbooking shop while the boys and kids played mini golf. We got together for lunch at the Plunkett Street park. We then visited Hanging Rock and walked along the river bank and through the rocks on Ben's Walk.


After the walk the kids were so lucky to be offered a motorcycle ride by this lovely biker. The kids had so much fun zooming around the look out on the back of a Yamaha!


We also went swimming at Wairo Beach at the end of Lake Tabourie and just near Crampton Island. Such a beautiful spot :)

Coast Trip #1

We've just returned home from a week away at our friends house down the coast. We usually spend a week there during the January school holidays.



String Bean: sitting pretty at Pebbly Beach.




While at Pebbly Beach we were lucky to see a huge goanna walking along, and quite quickly too I might add, straight into a bush. As soon as his head was covered by a big bush, he flopped in the sun. Squealy just about wet himself!

Sooty Oystereaters: rare birds. Spotted two nesting pairs on the rocks at Pebbly Beach.
