I’m up in bellingen truly gods country

Bloody hot in summer but

Head up the mountain to Dorrigo, a bit cooler there. You really do live in a great spot.

There are a few of us up in the Mid North Coast.

Not sure if it was just the area, but I used to spend a bit of time in Wollongong for work and around the train station it was chock full of junkies in the middle of the day. It can be true that a place is both beautiful, yet full of misfits. It generally felt unsafe, but I accept its individual as to the standards we accept.

Yeah that’s not the best part of town that’s for sure. Full of meth heads with a methadone clinic not far away also.

For me Nowra is like Mt Druitt as it was when I left Shitney 25 years ago.

Nowra is Mt Druitt on the south coast... methville!

Yeah I will need to find some new rides, I am lucky where I live now, there are plenty of good places to ride

Diggers Tavern has been pretty depressing the last couple of Saturday arvos, it may be hot here in summer but the winter days are magic. Good to hear another Tiger lives here in Bello

Good to hear Mikey, I am in Port Macquarie. Wrapped in beautiful beaches and a pretty good climate all year round.

I'm just down the road at lake cathie.

I'm just down the road at lake cathie.

just got home from a few days in Old Bar. Surf was small and so were the fish, still better than being stuck in Sydney.

 

[diedpretty]

Bonny is a good spot. The surf club is a good spot for a nibble and drinks.

Great beach. Excellent for the novice surfer and middle rock at lake cathie for the more experienced. Bonny Hills tavern is one of my local hangouts. Usually have a band on Friday nights.

Yeah . I have often thought we should organise something together on game day. A loss is a bit easier when you have others to cry along with.

I’m

The traffic through there is a nightmare . Especially on the weekend . Whilst it is beautiful , it’s pretty elitist and full of expats from Sydney / England . It’s basically Bondi lite .
Disagree completely about Shellharbour .

It needed some elitism. I was born at Coledale and it was a fairly remote destination then. Austinmer and Thirroul have always been beautiful and the cafe culture in Thirroul is great. The place is so beautiful so I've never had to go south. I've never had much time for Shellharbour.

I have a few mates from where I live who have bought there. One couple have built and moved in already, they keep asking when am I coming to live.
Lake Cathie has so many new housing estates now, infrastructure will increase for sure.
Bonny Hills is still undeveloped, and I hope it stays that way.
I have a good mate who lives on the border of Kew and Camden Haven, which is not far away at all

Was always a big fan of the south coast and was my destination of choice when the kids were young for family holidays. Now I tend to head north to Hawkes Nest. Great for the grandkids and the weathers is ore reliable than the South coast.

Hawkes Nest is also still pretty much a sleepy coastal town and has not been destroyed by the devlelopers ..yet. Great golf course

It’s beautiful over there how good is Exmouth and coral bay

Berrara is a hidden gem. Great waves, camping spots and fishing.

Love the coast south of Kiama around Gerringong. Lush and green rolling hills on one side, beautiful golden beach on the other. Not many spots I’ve driven that you can see that.

Developers have ruined lake cathie. Was a lovely coastal village when I moved there. Now it's just new estates and over 50s resort housing. Luckily I bought across the road from the ocean so I am away from most of the development.
