I’m finally back. We have had poor internet coverage is my excuse.
After our visit to Canberra, we started to head east towards the coast. Firstly heading back towards Bungendore. As you can see, the weather was somewhat overcast.
Our intention was to just drive through, but as we went up a side street, we noticed “Phil’s Op Shop”, so of course we stopped. What a bonus that was.
It turns out that the op shop is run by St Philips for Anglicare and on Friday mornings they host a community morning tea in the op shop. They insisted we have morning tea, which consisted of barista coffee and a mix of bought and home made biscuits and slices. They prepared the coffee while we went shopping. The morning tea was as good as any coffee shop. I found several doileys and embroidered hand towels and a book. An extra donation was made for the morning tea as well, as we were going to buy morning tea somewhere anyway. It was nice to see a quilt on the back wall and some pretty doiley curtains.
Our next stop was Braidwood. We just had a walk up and down the street, as we didn’t need to get morning tea. The quilt shop was closed, not that I needed anything. Our only purchase was bread from the bakery.
After Braidwood the scenery made a rather rapid change from tablelands to coastal. The grass was lush and green.
Then, as we started down Clyde Mountain we had the tall trees and were met by some rather moody, misty weather.
Our destination for the next three nights was Nelligan, which is on the Clyde River, just upstream from Batemans Bay. Our van site had beautiful lush grass. It was a very popular caravan park, being the weekend, with lots of families. We were just going to have a chilled couple of days.
My first task was to finish the book I was reading. A nice, light enjoyable read. It was a nice gift from Jennifer of Bronze Wombat.
