Back at Bendalong

Monday afternoon  28th Nov / Tuesday 29th……

Well we have just arrived back at Bendalong just north of Ulladulla. We loved it here 2 weeks ago, so have booked in for 4 nights. This is Mal’s favourite surf spot.

I might get better photos of Poppy Mal surfing Rosie !!??

Well we have only been here 2 hours, and we have already had an amazing experience. Where we are camped at Bendalong,  the ocean is on one side and a bay on the other, We wondered down to the bay for a swim and there were 2 stingrays in the water. One huge and one small. A fisherman gave us some fresh calamari to feed them. I made sure we stayed at the front of them and avoided the tail. They are like jelly to touch. Sorry, I did not take the camera. Loved it !!!!

Later in the afternoon we explored around all the rock pools at “One Tree Beach”, right behind our campsite. It was a bit of a hike down the cliff and over all the rocks around the point, but we ended up at this small, quiet little spot that even Mal did not know was there from all his previous visits. It was fairly overcast so a very average photo of a section of the rocks.

Friday 18th-

It is an absolutely stunning day today.

We were at the beach very early as there is finally some good surf.

Bendalong is a quiet and sleepy little spot, so we have really enjoyed our time here. We will head off further down the coast on Sunday to a new campsite.

We are looking forward to having our friends, Rhonda and John, joining us tomorrow night.

Thursday 17th….

We are camped in Conjola National Park at a great spot called Bendalong. This is one of Mal’s favourite surf spots. He had many a surf here years ago, and hopes to enjoy more surfing in the next four days we are here. Unless we decide to stay longer.

As you all can gather we love the National Parks and have set up the caravan with two solar panels, extra gas and water, an inverter and a special Saturn aerial for better internet service (yes..we are both working on this trip…just not too much).

We are surrounded by wildlife and beautiful birds. So far we have seen heaps of kangaroos, rabbits, bandicoots and possums around our camp site.

Rosie and Creed would love these!
