Jan's Daylight Saving Run
18 February 2019 / Words: Tony Heathwood. Photos:Tony Heathwood & Rob Wilko
On a beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon 15 MX-5s (and two other MX-5s disguised as a Porsche 911 and a Mercedes Benz SLK320) arrived at Mt Keira lookout. 29 members (and two visitors) from Illawarra, RPM and Sydney chapters also came with the cars.
Leaving on time the lineup headed down the beautiful tree lined Mt Keira Rd and Harry Graham Drive back to the Princes Highway at Figtree. A quick dash down the M1 led us to Macquarie Pass, right at the Tourist Rd and on to Robertson via Kirklands Rd. Great drive through tree-lined farmland and great scenery. Nice to go though this area again WITHOUT torrential rain, fog and mist.
Right at the Robertson pie shop on to Jamberoo Rd and for an unfortunately slow drive down the magnificent tree fern lined Jamberoo pass to Jamberoo (no stop at the Pub unfortunately). Thence to Kiama via a right turn at Fountaindale Rd, Saddleback Mountain Rd, a right at South Kiama Drive and back to the A1 again. Through the fun South Kiama bends a short run to a left at Sandy Wha Rd a left at Pacific Drive to our destination at the “world famous” Werri Beach Fish Shop.
Those that stayed for food were treated to great service along with excellent fish, prawns, scallops burgers and chips galore. I am fairly sure no one left hungry. Whilst we did have fishes (and loaves?) unfortunately Jenny and Tony Heathwood brought the only bottle of wine which did not quite stretch to everyone present.
Many thanks to Jan and Garry for organising a great evening outing that had everything from mountains to oceans.
