Congrats to Toni Collette on winning a Golden Globe!!!!! She is very Aussie and is a wonderful actor. I still love Muriel's Wedding and Sixth Sense
Now to another little trip we did while Hubby was off work. We decided to finally drive the "Grand Pacific Drive". The "drive" basically starts on the southern side of Sydney at the Royal National Park near Waterfall. Royal National Park is the second oldest park in the WORLD!!!!
It only took us about an hour to get to the start and we were planning on doing the drive to Wollongong and staying the night there. Instead we had a lovely day out and had a wonderful lunch overlooking the ocean.
Ok, so we started driving through the Park, but decided not to visit the beaches, such as Wattamolla & Garie, as they were off the main road and a long way to the coast. We did drive through a lot of this though
And then we arrived at Bald Hill which overlooks Stanwell Park
On a windy day this is what your view would be (not my photo)
and there can be lots and lots of them
You can just see in the background the bridge built over the water which is fairly new
We had lunch at the Headlands Hotel.
It is a very old pub which unfortunately needs lots of money spent on it. The food was excellent though and as for the views, well they can speak for themselves.
Finished the drive in Wollongong, even though the drive goes further and look what I spotted in the middle of town shopping area
Bye for now
