Twelve Mile Creek to South West Rocks - Sunday 28 May 2023
I had two dozen oysters for dinner. I got them straight from a local oyster farmer and they were so good, served with a squeeze of lemon. My dad would be so proud of me. What a perfect end to a great day.
We drove 270km today and there was nothing exciting about that. We stopped for elevenses in Taree and arrived here at 1:15pm, heading straight to the beach. The sun was reflecting off the water, there was fresh fish and chips available at a kiosk - I was in my happy place.
After lunch, we checked into our beautiful accommodation. When I rang to book last night, I asked for a "nice" cabin. We were a bit over the basic utilitarian $110/$130 p/n cabins we've had over the past few nights. I really felt like providing some interior decorating tips to last night's place. Then we got this. It's huge, beautifully decorated, beautiful views, very comfortable - so good. And still less than $200 p/n! After moving in, we went to explore. First stop was the oyster farmer - in case he ran out later. I don't think he was going to - he was prepared to shuck a whole lot more for me! Then the Trial Bay Goal - which only operated between 1886 and 1889 but is remarkably well preserved. We laughed a lot when one of the huge kangaroos milling out the front just hopped straight through these doors!
Then to the Smoky Cape Lighthouse, with it's magnificent views. A super steep climb to the top (and the most exercise I've done in days, but oh so worth it) with amazing north bound and south bound views.
Then back home for sunset drinks watching over the water from our cabin. This has been the best day of the trip so far for me!
