We have just spent four fabulous days camping. We have this gorgeous spot we go to which is situated on the South coast of NSW. The water is pristine, the birds were chirping and everybody wore big fat smiles.
The days were hot and sunny, so just perfect for lazing around in your bathers and a sarong. The plants in the area are mostly coastal species such as Coastal Wattle ( Acacia sophorae), Sea Box (Alyxia buxifolia) and Pigface (Carpobrotus rossii).
Our fantastic view from our tent. The kids delighted in waking up each morning for a dive in the river and a good swim. Some mornings the tide was really high and I feared we may be washed out, but it always subsided and left nice little swimming pools.
There were lots of crabs getting about in there and quite a bit of seaweed too. I always wish I could identify the many coastal seaweeds and seagrasses. They look so amazing. Just so textural and structured.
Behind our tent there was a little track that went along for about 20 metres.
The Coastal wattle was all in seed and had these beautiful curly seed pods all over the trees filled with little glossy black seeds. Anyway, the track led us out to this:
We spent a lot of time here, swimming, building the most amazing sand castles and making racing tracks for match box cars.
I went fishing quite a few times and suffice to say we ate very well 
Lots of fresh fish on the bbq and some yummy abalone too.
I hope to get back again before the end of Summer, so will take lots of shots then of the flora of the area. Hopefully by then I might have my new digital camera and can do my photos some justice!
