Kiama, Wollongong and North!

Australia Home

We left the Tumblegum Inn and rode north along the coast. Another warm day, over 100 degrees again, but the ocean breeze helped. We first went to Kiama and stopped at the Blowhole. We got lucky, and the current was running the right direction and gave us some great pics. After that we rode north thru Wollongong and thru Royal National Park and up to the Sea Cliff Bridge The ride was amazing, first thru a Rain Forest, and then up and down the coast. Twice. We missed a turn, and rode thru Royal, and discovered we were north of the bridge. So we rode south and had such a great time we turned around and road it again. The pictures don't do the bridge justice, it really does feel like you are floating on air.

Leazving Gerringong, we headed to Kiama
 
We found a small park to enjoy the waves at
 
That is a small 'wading' area where you could swim in a salt pool

It's alot like Thunder Hole, waves force air/water into a cavern
 
...and it has to come out somewhere
 
We miss the large sand beaches living in Maine

Just past the ridge is Sea Cliff Bridge
 
Sea Cliff Bridge. We missed a turn, and rode north, and turned back to ride the bridge
 
It turned out better this way, we rode the coastal route and bridge twice. It was hard to see from the south
