11 September - Moruya to Kiama

Up betimes to leave Moruya in "The Juke" our newly acquired motor car. The Juke is comfortable, drives well but is nearly 30 years younger than the Tadpole and therefore lacks experience - and it doesn't provide the occasional overnight accommodation!

We took morning tea at the Mollymook Beach Hut at Mollymook after previously passing through Mogo, Batemans Bay and Ulladulla.

Then on to Kiama via Fisherman's Paradise, Jerrawangala, Tomerong, Falls Creek (not the one in Victoria), Nowra, Bomaderry and Jaspers Brush.

The Kiama (Alan) Blow Hole - an impressive sight

Spent the night in Kiama and on the way back from dinner we passed "Parsons Ladies Funeral Directors (incorporating Stan Crapp Funerals)"

12 September - Kiama to Batemans Bay

Up betimes to check out of Kiama Motel 617, the street address of which is 123. So, either this is the 617th motel constructed in Kiama OR there is another explanation.

Made our way in The Juke to Cathedral Rock which, by comparison with the Organ Pipes on kunanyi, pales into insignificance.

Cathedral Rock. An 1828 painting would suggest that the height of some of the "spires" have since been much diminished.

Then on to Gerringong to take morning tea at the Sea Vista Cafe. 

The Sea Vista Café - evidently named due to the very fine vista of the sea available therefrom

Then on to Lake Conjola to view not just the lake but also the very fine coastal views. 

One of several very fine coastal views

Not to mention the excellent and beautifully painted public toilets which cater to "Ladies", "Gents" and "Ambulant Unisex"

The quite splendid public conveniences at Lake Conjola

Finished the day at Lincoln Downs Resort at Batemans Bay.
