So we are now really on the road again, and will be back in the tent again for the first time in 3 weeks. It is so exciting to be back on our own for the final few months. We booked into a lovely Big4 Camping Ground in South West Rocks and the facilities had the kiddies bouncing sky high pretty quick.

We took a drive to the beach at Trial Bay to watch the sun set, and of course to have a swim. The water is just beautiful and the water so calm the kids loved it. There were kangaroos hopping about when we arrived there, and plenty back at the campsite on our return. Kiddie heaven!
We headed down to check out the Gaol at Trial Bay the next morning and agreed if you were to be sent to prision, this is top of the list. The Gaol opened as a works prision and was used as an internment camp during WW1 - it closed shortly afterwards. Interestingly, the artist who did the drawings for the first release of the book Bambi was interned here.

The campsite has a fabulous pool and amazing kiddie facilities, so Em would have been happy to just spent her time here. They had a bouncy pillow, playgound, mini-golf, pool, and a real kiddie room with blow up bouncy castle and toy horse. Lachie was fully convinced he was Yankee Doodle and wouldn't let go of it for love nor money.
Nick's cousin Adrian, his wife Clare and their boys William and Campbell came to visit. It was wonderful to see them and hear their stories of life in Qld have resettled back from the UK last year. It was lovely for Em and Lachie to meet their 2nd cousins - hopefully they will see more of them now they are back in Oz.
We left South West Rocks thinking this is a wonderful spot of paradise and somewhere we definitely want to visit on our trip back down south.

We agree this is a delightful place. Rod has always loved S.W.Rocks as he went there with his family a few times as a teenager. He and I had our second date there so it holds a special place in my heart too. We stayed two nights on our way south to visit you for Christmas 2010 and will return one day. Shame we are too old for the kiddies' facilities as they sound fantastic! Great that you saw family :)
