Kiama 26th August 2012

Sunday 26^th August 2012

Our adventure to Kiama for early father’s day for Larry , Leash , with Poppy (Gil), Julianne (Grandma) and some of our grandchildren.

Due to the number of people we took three cars on our adventure our first stop being Cordeaux Dam off the Picton Road this was a first for Leash, Larry and the family and they were quite inspired with the picnic grounds and the dam.

  We all walked across the dam with the younger ones having much excitement asking how old it was and looking at the overflow etc it was great to see the interest.
 

We all saw a wombat

in its freedom in the bush which is always very exciting.

From the dam we drove to Kiama an excellent drive,
 

found a parking space immediately then gathered all and walked to the light house and blowhole, unfortunately being a perfect weather day the blowhole was not at its best but the family enjoyed climbing over the rocks and the spectacular view.  

We all had lunch at the park, chicken and rolls and the younger children enjoyed the climbing frame and slide.

After this break Julianne, Klancy and Melita left for a quick beach trip at Kiama to collect some shells and then off home. 

Larry, Leash, Poppy and family moved on to Jamberoo in the hope of seeing the Markets but unfortunately a little too late, they returned to Kiama and   let the kids shop at the old settlers homes on the terrace.

The weather was perfect and a pleasant rewarding drive.

 Maybe next time we can come down to Kiama for the markets at Kiama as they are great .
