Merewether Beach

Традиционно уезжали праздновать день рождения в country. На этот раз в Hunter Valley

И снова Дни рождения, на этот раз на Central Coast, в Noraville. В этот раз дом, в котором остановились, был примечателелен большим садом и аквариумом с рыбками, и даже скорее рабыми, потому что их было много, и они были огромные. И все время хотели есть ) а мы их, поскольку мы добрые, щедро кормили

В этот раз наши дни рождения были отпразднованы (а такое слово существует?) с шумом, хлопушками, шампанским в заливе Nelson Bay, в деревушке Shoal Bay. Как всегда, ослепительно белый песок и теплая вода в заливе

Ходили купаться на пляж, куда можно добраться только по тропинку через гору.

Nestled between Umina Beach and Ettalong Beach, at the southern tip of the Central Coast, lies a stunning stretch of over two kilometers of golden sand.
