The Gong

We had a small lie in as it's Sunday before springing into action. After a mighty fine Australian fry up we took the dogs for a nice long walk around Balgownie.

On the walk we saw so many beautiful birds particularly rosellas and lorikeets, which are multicoloured. We also saw a sign warning cyclists to dismount as this was a magpie area. When magpie's are breeding they dive bomb cyclists and cause nasty injuries!

Next we took a trip in the car to the Wollongong Blue Mile which lined the sea front. There were many historical features and plaques explaining what the old Wollongong was like. There was a mining railway track, big cannons and several saltwater pools. Also modern day restaurants, bars and luxury apartments lined the beach.

We were on dinner duty and rustled up something tasty followed by a delicious desert. We tried to watch a movie but couldn't really follow the complex twists and turns though we stuck it out before heading to bed.
