Today was due to be a more relaxing day. The first plan was to do laundry. I was shocked though – 10 AUD for a small wash and 6 AUD for a dry!! That’s ridiculous really!
As the closest laundry was in Kiama – I spent most of the day in the area.
Went to the Big Blowhole- but the wind direction was in the opposite direction to what was required to have it blow. I spoke to the tourist info ladies and they let me know that the Little Blowhole faces in the opposite direction -and so would be blowing much better. Instead of driving there I walked- its about 5km return.
It’s a nice walk around the coast- and I was partially accosted by an elder, local man who was walking his dog.
Little Blowhole did a good job blowing, and upon my return to the car, I headed to Bombo Quarry- now no longer mined but a tourist attraction. The remaining lava columns that have not been mined leave like a curtain between the land and sea. It looks pretty cool.
I spent a fair bit of time sitting at a picnic table enjoying the stunning blue fairy wrens and red finches play. I also waited for a meeting with South Africa that didn’t happen. I thus finished the day off with a walk along Bombo Beach.
