Last
week we travelled from Sydney to Canberra and back. Canberra is
Australia’s capital city and is a great stop for any tourist.
Our
trip began with a train ride to Wollongong. We picked up our rental
car at Unanderra and drove on to Kiama, Ulladulla, Mollymook and
Bateman’s Bay. I love the sound of some of those place names.
The
road down the coast was scenic but it was our stops that were really
great. Kiama is famous for its blowhole. It is here that the ocean
water surges into a crevice in the rocks. Because there isn’t enough
space for the volume of water, the water then surges up in a mighty
fountain-like cascade. Quite spectacular - especially at high tide.
Our
next stop was the beach at Mollymook where you can literally walk for
miles at low tide. We spent the night at Bateman’s Bay, a last stop
before the highway turns inland toward Canberra.
I
loved all the experiences of the day - the water spray at the blowhole,
the sand under my feet at Mollymook and the crab pasta at the Stingray
Restaurant at Bateman’s Bay.
I will write more
about Canberra in my next post. There are two pictures with this post
today. The first is at the Kiama Blowhole and the second is of the
beach at Mollymook.
