As I write up the record of this trip from my notes more than 2 months later, I’m very glad of the photos and notes that I took on the day, as the memories fade so quickly. Hence this is likely to be briefer than it would have been on the day of the happenings.
On this day we decided to meander further up the coast to Batemans Bay and have a bit of a look around.
Our first stop was Rosedale beach. We found a small opening along the side of a dead end road and realised that this was the way to the beach. Following the narrow path between the trees
and ended up on a lovely beach . The houses off of the road we had come along had stunning views out across the water.
It really was a stunning position.
There were lots more of those blue jelly fish things wrapped up in the seaweed here too.
We whiled a bit of time beachcombing and admiring the fantastic beach before we decided to head on our way. I don’t think I’ve ever seen life bouys attached like this on a beach before. I think there must a a bit of a rip here. (as there is on many of these beaches, according to the signs)
Back up the path to the car. You can see how we almost missed that path.
After negotiating ourselves around the numerous roadworks we finally came to a lovely little boathouse cafe at Batemans Bay right on the wharf where we bought fish and chips and lingered over their delicious crispiness as we sheltered from the sunlight under the handy umbrellas and shooed the seagulls away.
Then we slowly meandered our way homewards via every lovely beach and lookout that we could find – and there were a lot of them.
There are a plethora of lovely long, sandy beaches along the coast in this area and we can see why this is a holiday spot. It really is stunning. You obviously just need to be conscious of the rips.
I’ve no idea if we did anything else once we got home. Maybe a bit of jigsaw ???
