Pterodactyl again:
To the Sea
Cormanus and I headed east. Across the high country and down to the coast. Gillards Beach. I’ve posted about Gillards previously but am still struck by its beauty.
Blitzing the mountain
Our final stop before Gillards Beach was the seaside town of Tathra where we refuelled and bought the odd supply for the camp. We were forced to buy liquid supplies at the local club as the bottle shop had burned down not long before. Tragically, less than two months later in mid-March 2018, a major bushfire tore through the town. 65 houses and 35 caravans and cabins were destroyed, with another 48 houses damaged.
A beach with only your own footprints is good.
A couple of the locals ...
Sadly, the beach was a bit crowded.
