Ulladulla Wanderings

Rock fishing at Ulladulla

Arriving at Ulladulla on Monday we found that this caravan park only had 3 other vans currently on site and chatting to those folk it turned out they were leaving on Wed so it turned out to be just us and a tent set up down below that is leading up to the Easter break.  Where are all those crowds we kept hearing about.  There were plenty of vans on the road as we travelled up here from Bega but so far they have not stopped off here.  We don’t mind a quiet Easter and as the Blessing of the Fleet is happening here on Sunday we will certainly have an interesting festival to attend.

Today (Friday) we went for a drive up into the mountain areas behind the highway.  The Forestry trails were well maintained and gave Lawrie some adventurous driving up hill and down.  We visited a camp ground at Shallow Crossing (of the Clyde River) and parked and enjoyed a picnic lunch amongst the many campers set up along the river banks.  This was certainly a popular place for those that knew about it.

 There were caravans and tents of all shapes and sizes scattered both sides of the road in the designated camping areas.  The surrounding countryside was dense forest and everywhere was up or down a mountain.  Our journey took us to a lookout set high along the Clyde Ridge and the 360 degree view was just amazing.  The 120 km we did took us more than 4 hours so it was slow going but very enjoyable.  On returning to the caravan park we found that many more campers have arrived since we left this morning so we are no longer on our lonesome.
