We travelled due east from
Canberra leaving around 9am and hitting the coast at Bateman’s Bay around 11am.
From there we followed the coastline northward until we reached Mollymook which
was about 50km very close to Ulladulla, the roads were busy with spring
holiday-makers, it is spring half term here until 6th October.

Despite driving through some
pristine countryside and National Park forests our sightings were few and far
between. But most disturbing was the number of road-kills, we must have passed
over 20 dead kangaroos some of them were huge and often left in the middle of
the road, others ‘bodies’ were of Wombats and Possums!
We did see many of the common
bird species and a pair of King Parrots were new for us. Our destination was
the holiday home of Andrew and Jane’s, it sits on the hillside overlooking the
bay of Narrawallee and it is gorgeous. A huge split-level home with 5 bedrooms
and open plan living areas, from the wrap-around terrace we could see over lush
gardens to the sea, I think I’m going to like it here!

Within minutes we saw Rainbow
Lorikeets, Crimson Rosellas, Red Wattlebirds and an Eastern Spinetail – what a
lovely bird that one is. We immediately put out seeds for lorikeets and within
minutes we had visitors.

After settling in we sat on the
terrace in the afternoon sunlight before going off shopping, it was dark when
we got back.
