Sydney Trip 2014. Sydney to South West Rocks

I was really excited about this leg of the trip. South West Rocks came highly recommended as a beautiful seaside location and it was exactly that. Thanks Kerle and Vicki for the suggestion.
We chose to stay at the Big4 Sunshine Park because they are always predictable as far as amenities go and as this was a test camping trip with the kids, I put a fair bit of value on that. We have never been let down whilst staying at a Big4 camp.

We didn't get into South West Rocks until late in the afternoon which was a real bugger because I really wanted to explore the area. That would have to wait until the next morning. After a very cold night in the tent I made some tea/coffee for myself and Kirsty and Jack and I were off to explorer the coast for an hour.

Next time we come through we will stay here. An amazingly lovely spot.
Presumable this is Hat Head Bay

Well that's it for South West Rocks. We so wanted to spend more time here but we had to keep pointing north and heading home. Without doubt we will be back to do some serous camping time in the area.

Next stop Pottsville.
