Down the Coast
It was raining today which meant a wet walk with all our gear to the downtown rental car station. Getting the car was no problem once we arrived and we were heading south on the coastal highway 1 before we knew it.
We pulled off at several tourist marked sites on the way down and had lunch in a small town near the coast. Heading off the highway toward the town we saw our first kangaroo and in the town the trees were filled with colorful parrots. So far the wildlife is living up to expectations.
Tonight we stayed above a bar/restaurant in the costal town of Nowra. The owner was extremely friendly and we actually had the place to ourselves. After exploring the town and walking down the beach (we saw more grey and pink parrots, called galahs, on the way down) we headed back to the hotel to have dinner. We ordered a great bottle of Australian wine the owner recommended and the meal was superb. Tomorrow we head past Melbourne to the beach town of Lorne in the south.
