By the Seaside – Gerringong

We’ll break up our adventures in-land with a bit of a seaside sojourn to the near South Coast. Gerringong is now a hop-skip-jump from Sydney since the Princes Highway by-passes were completed. It is usually very popular on weekends and in the summer.

Our visit however was on a particularly changeable weekend in winter 2022. We stayed close to the beach, so although the weather wasn’t the best, the first thing I did in the morning was venture out to Werri Beach, where I was greeted with a rainbow (or two). As you can see, I was obviously one of the more enthusiastic visitors that morning.

It’s worth getting up early for the sight of the lovely, stormy beach.

Taralga and the Southern Tablelands

We concluded our trip with a visit to the Southern Tablelands directly south of Abercrombie Caves. Lots of gentle landscapes here, west of the Dividing Range. We stayed in the middle of it near the hamlet of Laggan.

We took little drives around the area, visiting the slightly bigger village of Taralga. Taralga was a pretty sleepy place, but it had some nice architecture of varying vintages along its main street.

That’s all for our drive around Central NSW that took place back in December 2021. Almost two years have passed since then, so I’ve got a lot more of NSW to share. I’ll be back next time with another drive around this lovely state.
