Pottsville Beach 25 August 2010

After a short drive through lush green countryside, we turned off the highway and set off along a coastal road, hoping to visit some of the isolated fishing villages Peter remembered from his youth. Alas the developers beat us and have erected a series of ‘Shellharbour’ hamlets that have devoured many of the little fishing villages, complete with interchangeable Lego shopping centres. Thankfully there are still a number of nature reserves that separate the expansive developments and we enjoyed walking along some deserted beaches. Camped at Pottsville Beach on the Mooball Creek that meanders along the coastal sand dunes.
