Victorian High Country: Stage 1 - Heading South
About this album
This is the first stage of our trip south. We meandered down the coastal highway from Clunes to Central Tilba going through Sydney, Kiama, and Central Tilba before we started to head inland. The south coast was all new to us.
Nearly all packed and ready to go.
Our first beachside stop at Booli Booli National Park somewhere just before Newcastle.
Nice quiet beach - probably cause it was cold and blowy
Just a standard wave, but you take these pictures when on holiday
Obligatory pose with the 4WD
