Seven Mile Beach Gerroa NSW

We moved further up the South Coast of NSW by 4 1/2 hrs to a lovely spot just across from Seven Mile Beach. We stayed at the Discovery Gerroa holiday park nestled right on the Crooked River at Gerroa.

Only a small park in terms of camping facilities with limited sites as its mainly permanent holiday residents and as it was the weekend all the powered sites were booked out so we were allocated a unpowered site UP1 which had access to power and in our opinion the best site for our van as it was nice and large and across from the camp kitchen. The park had a stay for 4 nights and pay for 3 nights which we took advantage of costing us $111 for the 4 nights. ( A was free as was under 4). Amenities were very clean and accessed by a key and even had a children's bathroom. They are a little walk up from the camping sites probably only 100m but a dump site is located at just near the camp kitchen. The Park has a jumping pillow, playground and a pool but were up the top end of the park away from the camping sites so we didn't really use them much. Beach access was via a code gate which lead to the bridge and then a short walkway to the beach.

Saturday was very busy down at the beach with near prefect weather and as we arrived mid afternoon we decided to go for a drive around. Residents of Gerroa have some amazing views back to seven mile beach.

Sunday we went into Kiama about 15 minutes north. They had a seaside market on which had a variety of stalls on. While in Kiama we went and had a look at the Big and little blowholes and did some grocery shopping before heading back to the park for A's afternoon sleep.

 Monday was spent checking out Wollongong and the grand pacific drive all the way to Bald hills headland which included a drive over Sea Cliffs bridge. We were lucky enough to be able to watch a para gilder and hand gilder souring off the headland as we arrived.

 Tuesday we heading south to Berry and Nowra and did some shopping at Bunnings then headed out for a look to Jervis Bay and the Booderee National Park and having lunch at Huskisson but i left my camera at home :(

Wednesday morning we packed up and head to Sydney the long way via Picton and the M5 / M7 / M2 but with a lot less stress on those in the car.
