South Coast beaches for birthday # 68 : June 19 2024
Sun came out for my birthday. Was a tough start after the fall out with my son yesterday. Churned the letter all night. Got a different day planned
Breakfast at Bangalay Dining to start - nice breakfast off the new menu
Short walk to Shoalhaven Heads beach - sea really chopped up - looking north
Looking south - drove then further south to explore beaches we have not seen - Shoalhaven has 100
Sussex Inlet - takes a bit of a walk and a swim across the inlet to reach 5 mile beach. Looking up the inlet
Looming East down where the water flows to the ocean
Cormorant fishing. Across the other side is Jervis Bay Territory - preserved under Federal Government administration. Navy base and an Aboriginal community
Bowls club just up from the water - busy playing today
Bike path and wide park and gym equipment. All ironic as the information board talked about preserving the salt marshes - this one is now a park
Mangroves across the inlet
Heading back up the inlet - cormorant drying off after its swim. Seagull lined up behind
Ducks and mangroves
Drove to next beach access down south - walked down to water from a resort access road
Small parcels of Conjola NP all along this road
Saw this big tree trunk on the waters edge - makes a good subject
We met an old guy who had paddled down there and cooked his tea at his rest stop. Seems like a great way to enjoy the tranquillity
Road took us to top end of Cudmirrah Beach - fabulous blue colour - looking north
Looking south. Drove through Cudmirrah to the other end of the beach. Have been here before as I stayed a night with a friend who lives here when I cycled from Bermagui to Sydney in 2016
Looking north
Looking south to Berrara headland - we did drive down there - to where the lake opening is when it is open
View of the lake taking in the grand eucalyptus trees
Did some shopping on the way home. Looking for a new mattress - good year end sales prices. And grocery shipping done.
We were due to have guests for dinner - they called off sick. That had me cooking dinner instead of my wife. Was fine with that as it got my mind off my son and his antics
Steak and sausages BBQ
Cauliflower and mushroom stir fry with some lemony spices and garlic
Wine to celebrate 68 years - a 2004 vintage Shiraz from Thelema - one of the best South African wine makers - was just fab

Good vintage on a Shiraz sure to have been great with meal at the end of a busy day, breakfast looks great as did the spots all along the bay.
Let you son stew not you, found it far more rewarding to simply keep quiet wait for them to come to the senses.
Glad you got to enjoy your Birthday!
My neighbour had an expression as she held her hand up in one’s face. “Talk to the hand”. Sad part is it is not him - it is his partner. I watched my father take a stance on all my siblings partners way back. He was wrong - 51 years, 49 years, 47 years. Not going the same way. It hurts especially with all the others me ories this week. Granny was murdered in Cape Town on the solstice 18 years ago
One has to bite on ones tongue quite often when it comes to partners, being a blunt object when phrasing myself, I often sleep on it to see what washes out.
So many unsolved murders in this country over the last twenty odd years. My fathers best friend (passed on natural causes), wife and son murdered in Margate, neighbours brother murdered in Port Elizabeth many more one hears about. Sorry to hear about your Gran, it is still rife here!
6 for me. Granny was the worst - a ritual gang killing which the police will never follow. Her grandson found her - 12 he was - she did not go lightly were his words
It breaks ones heart hearing horrific things like this are happening all the time, irrespective of who they are it is wrong.
It is indeed. The number keeps going up. Keep safe my friend
Happy Happy birthday brother. That sounds like a wonderful birthday despite the rocky start. Exploring new beaches and enjoying a delicious meal with good wine must have been a great way to relax as well man. Cheers to many more peaceful days ahead !BEER
