Coastal Destinations

[Odessa]

Austinmer, Thirroul, Coledale, Wombarra and Balgownie are just a few suburbs which offer a superior lifestyle. The Northern Beaches of Wollongong offer a far superior quality of life from where I formerly lived at Woolooware. Shellharbour would not be a suburb of choice.

Love Austinmer

We have a block at Bonny Hills and will be retiring there when I finish working, we will be 650m from the Rainbow beach Surf club and patrolled beach, so not far away

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

Great spot - magic!

500m from the Tavern in the other direction from our block

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

Nambucca is the same but on a much smaller scale. Used to be a bit edgy here with some hotels being first stop out of his majesty's in Grafton and Kempsey but times have changed.

Yeah we had dinner on the balcony at the surf club when we went to check out the block

Don’t tell too many people Paws - let them believe it’s crap. I personally live in the area but grew up out west. I’ll take the Gong any day.

Brother has been in Bulli for 30 plus years. He loves Sandon Point, caught more fish than a Chinese factory trawler at Headies.

It's beautiful and is actually where my grandmothers side of the family is from. She was a Moody but also is related to the Rose family.
Funny thing is house we bought in Nambucca was built and owned by a Rose

There's a claim to fame for the area.

We are at Lighthouse Beach. Walk north from Rainbow Beach and you will eventually get there.

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 .

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.

Best coastline in the world?

Lol there’s far better.
Great Ocean Road shits on it.
What about the Italy’s Amalfi, Nz’s Milford Sound, Ha Long Bay in Vietnam or Napali in Hawaii?

Hopefully in a couple of years I will be heading up there to live

Good Garden Centre next to the Tavern too.

It sure is, had lunch there a few times

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