Laneo & Ricey: South Durras

South Durras

Its school holidays here at the moment so we thought we would take the caravan on a road trip. We originally intended on going for the whole holidays and heading as far north as we could (we had plans of getting to Byron Bay), but Richard got a new job and has a handover meeting the second week, and I got a new job too and I also have a meeting the second week, so we cut our trip short to the first week only.

As we didn't want to spend the whole holidays in the car, we decided to check out some of the coast between here and Sydney. First stop - South Durras, which is just north of Batemans Bay. We found a fantastic caravan park which bordered on the Murramarang National Park, the caravan park was really quiet, it had a kids club, restaurant, bar, pool and playground, and we ended up finding so much to do in the surrounding area we decided just to stay there.

Jack and Josie went to kids club every day, made a variety of crafty things and got to play some great games, and in the evenings they had family bingo and also family trivia. Good fun. We also tried out their pizza/pasta special night in the restaurant.

In the mornings and afternoons we went for walks in the nearby national park, went into Batemans Bay (and checked out the HUGE new Bunnings!), went to Mogo for some cool shopping, Milton to a nice cafe, and we also climbed Pigeon House mountain - which was very steep but had spectacular views.

It got cold though (with frost on the ground and ice on the car this morning), so we were glad we had our little fan heater in the caravan. Cold nights, but nice sunny days (...well apart from a brief hail storm!)

A great week away.
