Home Cooking in Jamberoo

Clint R — Sat, 20 Aug 2022 13:00:00 +0000

With a huge thank you again to our hosts Andy and Michelle, we’d like to show off a few of the excellent meals they cooked during our visit. Fresh Seafood Feast First up was a full baked Snapper, covered with an asian-inspired sauce. We pulled the fish right off the bones to eat. Bonus – […]

Out to Eat in New South Wales

Clint R — Mon, 15 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000

We spent a total of 5 weeks touring New South Wales – Sydney and several cities/towns throughout the South Coast. To stick with our budget we did do a lot of home cooking (in both our AirBnbs and with our host family – stay tuned there!); however we had more than enough opportunity to sample […]

Kaitlin Won the Meat Raffle – Jamberoo, NSW

Clint R — Sat, 13 Aug 2022 14:00:00 +0000

Apologies for the delay with this news. Back in Jamberoo, we got into Andy’s Friday night habit of going to the local Bowling Club (Lawn Bowling – a big thing in Australia) for drinks and dinner. Our first time there, we noticed a raffle going on – but the prizes weren’t just anything. Raffle winners […]

Beer Me – Australia Edition

Clint R — Wed, 10 Aug 2022 00:52:29 +0000

A pleasant surprise (for Clint more than Kaitlin) when we spent time in Australia – the craft beer scene has recently exploded in popularity. Now, to stay on-budget we couldn’t constantly enjoy/sample craft brews (an unpleasant surprise was the cost of a 6-pack), so spent most of the time drinking some Australian “classics” – Coopers […]

Rock-Hopping to the Figure 8 Pools

Clint R — Sun, 07 Aug 2022 13:00:00 +0000

Another unmarked trail experience in New South Wales; this time to the famous Figure 8 Rock Pools – a natural wonder in Royal National Park. This whole hike is amazing. First you trek downhill (over 100m elevation change) from the Garawarra Farm Carpark along a boardwalk to Burning Palms Beach. From here, make your way […]

Drawing Room Rocks – “The Best View in New South Wales”

Clint R — Fri, 05 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000

After a 7km (5 mile) drive up a mountain pass from the tourist town of Berry, NSW you arrive at the trailhead for the Drawing Room Rocks Bushwalk. From here, is is a 2km uphill (Grade 4) hike to the Drawing Room Rocks. The rocks got this name because they look kind of like the […]

A Second, Slightly Smaller Blowhole

Clint R — Tue, 02 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Kiama, NSW is home to the World’s Largest Blowhole (already featured on this site); but less well known is the “Little Kiama Blowhole” about 3km down the coast. Despite it’s smaller size, the relative “underground” status of the Little Blowhole means fences stopping people from jumping in (this does happen at the famous blowhole) are […]

A Hike to Seven Mile Beach – Berry, NSW

Clint R — Sat, 30 Jul 2022 12:30:00 +0000

Seven Mile Beach National Park is located near the small town of Berry in New South Wales. After spending our day in the quaint touristy town – if you’re ever there you have to visit the Famous Donut Van – we made our way to the park. Sunset was coming, but we took charge and […]

Stingrays & Cycling – Illawara, New South Wales

Clint R — Wed, 27 Jul 2022 11:00:00 +0000

Mixing it up a bit from the hiking today. Recently, our hosts secured us some extra bikes (thanks neighbors!) and we took a 42 km (26 mile) ride up and down the Illawara regional coastline. And we saw some stingrays! Specifically, we rode from Port Kembla Beach (aka MM Beach to the locals) to Bellambi […]

A Stroll Through The Rainforest – Minamurra Falls

Clint R — Sun, 24 Jul 2022 12:30:00 +0000

Loyal Wandering Walleye visitors already know the Minammurra River, which runs alongside the shared neighborhood property of our Australian hosts and was featured in some previous posts. But we aren’t done showing it off. About 4 km (2 miles) up Jamberoo Mountain Road, a side-road leads to the Minamurra Rainforest Centre. As the name suggests, […]
