"The barque 'Rangoon' was wrecked on Stack Island at the mouth of the Minnamurra River on 22nd March, 1870. The anchor is situated outside the Ocean Beach Hotel at Shellharbour on land formerly owned by Captain William Wilson. Wilson assisted in the rescue of the ship-wrecked crew of the 'Rangoon'."

weird thing to say i guess but the lithgow crash is kinda sticking in my mind; once every few years during this goddamn holiday season you get one sticking in your mind and it's awful (a few years ago it was that one down at the south coast somewhere)

this one near lithgow's kinda hitting hard bc i drive out there pretty often for someone who lives 2 hours away from it (i just like the area and lithgow is like the starting point for exploring). so... yeah.

the holiday season is the worst. maybe between xmas and new year it's the worst. even on long weekends you have people driving out of sydney who don't drive that often/don't drive out of sydney often and they don't know how to fucking drive. earlier this year iirc on the M1 just coming out of wahroonga/right at the start, some person towing a caravan changed lanes from the left lane but forgot they were fucking towing a caravan and that was nearly an accident (at about 100kmh (speed limit was 110kmh but the traffic was heavy at that point)). then you have the people who drive so slow around bends because they're scared or whatever (on rural highways/roads (particularly on the south coast)), but then speed up in the overtaking zones so you can't fucking overtake them. unless you speed there too (which i do now do sometimes just to fucking get rid of them)

people who hog the right lane on the motorway... ................... ????????????

anyway.

eta: the GWH should be duplicated between katoomba and lithgow... or at least there needs to be more overtaking zones between mt victoria and lithgow. there's only really two iirc?? and one of them is uphill and wind-ey and lmao it's a Task to drive it in manual and the car is really tall skfjngkfg (it's 4th gear on the straights/flats and 3rd on the bends to climb/not lose speed so i can OVERTAKE (on the way back/downhill though iirc you can just stay in 4th and brake and just. feel the car re tippyness lmao))

and yeah there's like a dotted line somewhere around hartley but it's really short and the traffic is usually pretty heavy so it's dangerous to do it/you'd have to get lucky with no oncoming traffic... anywayyy

eta2: the whole shitty driving during holiday season is kinda why i'm not that keen to drive anywhere rn HAHA

Day 1: 11 Mar 2024

Because we are both now retirees, we decided to drive to the Mornington Peninsula to meet the Worths instead of flying to Melbourne and then hiring a car. So we’ll drive down via the coast on the Princes Highway and then return via the inland road. We’ll have 3 nights of accommodation before meeting Paul and Sharon on Thursday 14/3.

Initially we also planned to take the gravel bikes with us but after Phil’s diagnosis of “shingles” a couple of weeks ago and the doctor’s order to “take it easy” we decided to leave the bikes behind. Best not to have the temptation!

Carlyles are not well known for their early starts so we left the driveway at Elanora at 7:45am with a coffee stop planned once we were past Wollongong. Gerringong was where we found ourselves for a pretty good coffee and little orange polenta cake. The cafe had big views over the coast. It’s a cute surfer township with the stunning Gerroa beach next door.

Next stop for a toastie for lunch was Mollymook … another beautiful South Coast town. We got takeaway toasties and sat down near the beach. Pretty warm with 30C showing on the temperature gauge.

Jim lent us a 12V fridge which we’ve plugged in and it works a treat. It’s cooking for us 2 x milk, yoghurt, tonight’s frozen dinner (cooked at home yesterday), a bottle of wine, and 1 beer. Tonight’s AirBnB has no kitchen apart from a microwave and it’s in North Durass which is a good 20+ min drive to Bateman’s Bay which is the closest place for dinner options. Hence our homemade dinner! Perfect!

We arrived at our destination at 2:30pm and met Victor (our host). Great place with walks, mountain biking, beaches, lakes etc all on the doorstep. Our accommodation is a granny flat at the back of Victor and Dee’s house. Two kangaroos (mum and 1 year old Joey) were chomping away on grass right outside our door.

We put walking shoes on straight away and did a short walk along the lake. Huge trees! This area was impacted badly in 2019/20 during those terrible bushfires. The bush looks like it has fully recovered. Pretty stunning area. Glad we stopped here.
