One thing travelling does, is to alert you to the richness of places in your own backyard. We travelled to one such place today. Not only do you travel to a gorgeous place, in a sense you travel back in time, with weatherboard houses, old buildings, quaint old fashioned craft shops and cows in nearby fields all within a few streets.
Gerringong is a lovely village about 20 minutes south of Shellharbour. The drive is pretty with mountains on one side and ocean on the other. The main street has shops, cafes and views. A favourite spot is a grassy hill overlooking the beach where people have their lunch, while away the time, meet and chat and have an ice cream.
We did that today - ate our lunch, looked at the beach and had an ice cream. A beautiful sunny winter's day at Gerringong.
