After a scenic drive back from Kangaroo Valley, we went fishing at ‘the point’, within walking distance of the caravan park.   What a glorious evening! Fishing not catching – again!   A very late dinner as the sun was sinking behind the range when we headed back.

Thursday was time for a paddle and a fish.   Put the kayaks in Lake Illawara, by the caravan park and paddled across to the sandbank on an incoming tide.   Another fantastic day, fishing on the white sand with the Great Dividing Range as a backdrop, blue skies, a lovely cooling breeze and the sun beating down – man this is a tough life!

Finally some catching, although not keeping.   Bill caught a nice Bream and put him back and two small Whiting.   Me? nothing, zero, denada, zilch – oh well!

Friday morning already.   Days seem very long with daylight saving but the time has passed quickly all the same. Heading for Benalong today; about 3 hours south and on the coast.   We are travelling down the coast’s Princess Highway and the new roads are fantastic. We are quite high up and wind warning signs abound. The views of the coast to the left and the rolling hills with bush and lush pastures to the right, with the Great Dividing Range as a backdrop, is awesome.   Cow’s packed lunches are strewn all over the farmlands to the left and right, the farmers have been busy baling.

More huge roadworks – a continuation of the fabulous highway we have been travelling on.   It is always amazing to see the work going on and who cares if you have to slow down or stop every now and then. The end result will benefit everyone
