Again I slept fairly well despite waking up every time I had to turn over because my legs were aching. I didn’t get up until 9a.m. and had my breakfast.
We decided to go for a drive today. Went to Berry first – a pretty little town, but seems to have grown since we were here last. First stop was Haven and Space, an interior decorating shop where we bought Mum a wooden bird last time. This time we bought a shallow glass bowl to put the water beads and succulent heads in, and a glass head to finally use as a wig stand – only $13 for the head.

We had a bite to eat at a little café – Bill had a bacon and egg roll, I had some vegetable frittata, quite nice, but not the best I’ve had.

Continued up the mountain to the Fitzroy Falls. When we got there, up a very windy and quite narrow road, we had to pay $3 parking fee and we weren’t even sure if I could walk to the falls so Bill went in to ask. The falls were only 200 metres from the Visitors’ Centre and we could get a pensioner exemption for park entry except that it entailed sending off for an exemption which the lady promptly did – we will get our exemption in the mail and can use it in the future. The falls were quite spectacular – a drop of 81 metres. The rock formations were also very grand. There was also a little set of falls (perhaps better described as rapids) before we got to the main falls. A couple of walking tracks led to a set of twin falls, but it was over 1 km round trip so we gave them a miss.
Had a scone with jam and cream, and a drink in the café. Very nice scones.
Headed back down the mountain, and turned off to the Cambewarra Lookout. This is a spectacular view across Nowra and basically the whole of the Shoalhaven area. We came here when we stopped at Nowra about seven years ago.
Back to the van by about 4:45p.m.
Watched a very inept man try to back his van onto a site just down the road. Bill just shook his head in disbelief.
Decided to go to the Gerroa Boat Fisherman’s Club for dinner. I had a very nice prawn and mango salad, Bill had a veal schnitzel. We bought some tickets in the prawn tray raffle, but didn’t win anything. Played the pokies for a while, but again didn’t win anything.
