Southern Sights

On Sunday 18th November, 25 members of the Illawarra Chapter enjoyed a great drive starting at Haywards Bay. We were well organised by Bryan before departing in 14 cars at 9.35am. We left Yallah proceeding to Marshall Mount, Calderwood, Albion Park and Jamberoo. The countryside was beautiful and a luscious green; the cattle were spoilt! We turned right to Saddleback Mountain. The lookout was amazing, with spectacular views of our coastline from Shellharbour to Kiama. The sights of Calderwood, Bombo, Kiama and Jamberoo were breathtaking.
Our next stop was Killalea National Park with once again spectacular views of The Farm and surrounding hillside. Phil Belcher did a great job of organising this morning tea stop. After a short coffee break we headed to Kiama. Kiama was very busy, so we had a scenic tour of the harbour. With no parking available we moved on to Gerroa via Gerringong. The Fisherman's Club was stretched to its limits, loads of patrons and almost no parking. We enjoyed a superb lunch with great friends before departing for home. Our thanks to John (photos) and Bryan for his leadership and masterly organisation.
