Gerringong to Kiama coastal walk

This 12 km walk is one of the highlights of a stay in Berry. Hugging the coast, the walk passes through country meadows, ancient remnants of rainforest and sea platforms.

We started our walk from Loves Bay in Kiama.  

Along the walk, there are plenty of signs to tell you what you will be looking at. 

As you can see the walk passes through tribal lands. The totems seen here represent the trees that once covered this area.

This land was cleared by early settlers who were given the right to live on the land rent free as long as they cleared it for farming. 

For many years, this walk was not open as there were disputes about the ownership of parts of the walk. Lucky for us, the local government was able to settle with the then owners.  

 As you can see the views are incredible.

I love these pebbled beaches and the coastal flats. A lovely sunny day is perfect for a walk like this. 

gorgeous! 

A trip to the beach

The simplest pleasures in life are much overlooked.  I know long walks on the beach are a cliché when it comes to romance, but it is one of the most calming things to do.

This is what the beach looked like at 6pm yesterday.  We're lucky our local beach is called Seven Mile Beach for obvious reasons. 

Oh, poor little jellyfish.  

It's always fun to write messages in the sand. 

Turning to dusk.
