He was fantastic and gave us some real jewels which made us laugh, made us (OK me) cry and stand in awe. Our early morning paid off to head out to have breakfast on a beautiful beach at Currarong with Rock pools. Our own private beach and lovely hike around Abraham&#8217;s bosom reserve. A really beautiful area, we saw so many butterflies one was black and white any the size of a saucer!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/britswissmix.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/img_0652.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/britswissmix.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/img_0652.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a>&nbsp;<br \/>\nAfter a very chilled morning the day started heating up and it was soon 28 degrees despite the forecast saying 18. We headed to Huskissen for a wonderful ice cream and stroll along Shark Net Bay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/britswissmix.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/img_0658.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/britswissmix.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/img_0658.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/britswissmix.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/img_0656.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/britswissmix.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/img_0656.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a>&nbsp;When Erich and I drive we tend to have a deal that when driving on the left I drive and when driving on the right Erich drives. It&#8217;s simple and we both always sit in the same place in the car. So since bring in Oz Erich &nbsp;has had a chaufer! &nbsp;Kidding, the roads are amazing to drive and we have seen a Wallaby, a goana a meter and a half long ( just missed with the car) as well as other critters along the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our next adventure before reaching our destination for the night was Pebbly beach. It&#8217;s very famous for its&#8230; No not pebbles&#8230; But Kangeroos on the beach! &nbsp;A long winding road through huge trees which cast shadows giving a strange zebra affect on the tarmac. Eventually coming to a small nature reserve parking with just a couple of cars parked up. We headed out to the beach for Erich to shout &#8220;look Kangeroos&#8221;. I thought he was pointing at a tourist couple in the far distance dipping their toes in the water. Little did I see the family of Kangeroos under the tree next to us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/britswissmix.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/img_0665.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/britswissmix.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/img_0665.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/britswissmix.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/img_0664.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/britswissmix.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/img_0664.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a>&nbsp;<br \/>\nWhat can I say&#8230; I cried&#8230; Erich laughed. It was so beautiful to have them hopping around us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our walk on the beach was amazing and we sat and watched the Kangeroos before slowly heading back to the car. Before we had headed down the road to Pebbly beach we bought some fresh fruit from a older gentleman with his fruit cart at the side of the road, a bucket of cherries, mangos and peaches. Upon return to the car we decided to try our fruit treasures only to be attached by the local parrots. One of which landed on my back and did not want to go. Even before we had got the fruit they were dive bombing Erich! &nbsp;They look so cute from a distance but can see the evil look in their eyes&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/britswissmix.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/img_0667.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/britswissmix.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/img_0667.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a>&nbsp;<br \/>\nAfter safety returning to the car we had a short hop to our hotel for the night with our fantastic view. So much do we got take away and wind to sit in our balcony and enjoy the view<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/britswissmix.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/img_0671.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/britswissmix.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/img_0671.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a>&nbsp;<br \/>\nOnce the sun began to set we went for a walk to play pelican roulette. This is s very dangerous game. As the sun sets the birds take to roost on had local road lights over the pavements. Although they may look sleepy and harmless they are nothing more than loaded weapons. You see couples out for romantic walks only having to run under the giant birds with lethal loads. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/britswissmix.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/img_0682.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/britswissmix.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/img_0682.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a>&nbsp;<br \/>\nA few near misses and we made it back safe. What a day, really can&#8217;t wait for tomorrow because tomorrow we go to Eden and wonder what fantastic things await is there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Rob, the owner of the motel we stayed at last night recommended some great places to go on our journey to Batemans Bay.
