Day 7: Driving down the coast

Today we drove southwards down the coast from Sydney. After about an hour we reached Wollongong where Noz viagr a pfizer went to university, and 10km from her family home in Dapto. We took the Grand Pacific Drive which follows the coastline and features the Sea Cliff Bridge. The bridge is parallel to the coastline but extends out above the sea and therefore away from the rock face. It was built in 2005 primarily to reduce the risk of falling rocks hitting traffic, and has been used by a number of car manufacturers for their TV advertisements.

Next we headed inland slightly to Jamberoo and the nearby Illawarra Fly Tree Top Walk. As we drove up into the mountains the weather quickly changed from a warm sunny day to cloud and drizzle. The tree top walk runs through the rainforest and is up to 45 metres above the ground. Although we could hear plenty of wildlife (there should be birds, wombats, snakes and owls among others) we didn’t actually see any. The views of the rainforest and surrounding area (including Lake Illawarra and the coast) were excellent though.

We then drove back down to the coast and a town called Kiama. Here there is a natural blowhole which forces a jet of water into the air as the waves come in. There wasn’t a huge swell today so only the crabs and lizards on nearby rocks were getting wet – I’m sure it would catch a few visitors by surprise when the sea is rougher!

Once back in Sydney, I went to the open air cinema in Bondi Pavilion (right next to Bondi Beach). The Australian Film Festival (Flickerfest) is taking place at the moment and they were showing 10 short films from emerging Australian filmmakers. Everyone was given a score sheet to rate each of the films so that they can decide on an overall winner at the end.

Tomorrow we are flying to the Gold Coast in Queensland to meet up with Kat.

    Thanks for the latest Howie – this is going to be a wonderul record for you to keep – you are getting so knowledgable on Aussie culture, history and wildlife! Hopefully you will not be anywhere near the floods in Queensland.
    My cannula is now out, also the cord and capsule. We have a quiet day today with just blood tests – home tomorrow morning after further tests. Thankfully no side effects from the drug for any of us. Love, Mum xxxxx
