The Memorable Berry

We travelled into the beautiful country town of Berry with its grassy rolling hills, plentiful fat cows, and scenic farm houses.  It's a 20min drive East of the quaint surf town of Gerringong. We spent five days in Berry as it was the only place we could stay that allowed Dogs.  Each day we travelled to the coast at Seven Mile Beach National Park and spent the day frolicking in the waves. Then back to the town of Berry for the evening.

 Berry is a day trippers delight from the windy, sun drenched coast with it's quaint shops and eateries.  During the holidays the main road is bumper to bumper with more Sydney siders then residence. We found the iconic Berry Donut Van (YUMM) and around the corner is the best wood fired bread in all of OZ. A friendly place and no, it can't boast a beach but worthy of a visit.

The Enchanted Forest-Blue Mountains

Hwy of the Sea

Spectacular scenery along the East Coast from Sydney to Woolingong. This is the seaway. Only thing that could make it more beautiful would be a gliding over it.... (see below)

Blue Mountain Views

Ridge Pass (Blue Mountains)

Another amazing photo

Hidden amongst the bush near a national park, we stopped for the night.  Alone and remote is good as The East Coast has become increasingly more difficult to find legal camping areas for dogs during school holidays.  

Sunset over the Blues

Good Photo Day

An hours drive out of Sydney heading west passes some quaint  small country towns and finally arrives at The Blue Mountains. The name says it all. Shrouded in a blue haze the mountains were some of the most spectacular senery since the Kimberly region of WA. The blue haze is caused by the heating of the oils found in the blue gum leaves native to the area. It makes a day of all-star spectacular photos. Every picture I took on this day was amazing. Credit to the hue but also to the vast canyons and endless views. The Blue Mountains was an unexpected surprise and well worth a visit. Only regret is that we didn't spend enough time hiking though this area.

Possum

Sydney's Fish Market

This was a must see when in Sydney. Rows and rows of delectable fresh and cooked seafood to taste or take home. Plenty of slimy things like octopus and oysters and strange fish from the deep. The star of the show was the scallop thermador and the fried soft shelled crab. This place was bustling with Sydney siders looking for the freshest seafood in town. A must visit on the list of things to do in Sydney.

Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve was passed sitting harbour side watching an early show of fireworks against Darling Harbour's illuminated skyline. Lovely evening with perfect evening weather.
