"Sydney or the Bush"

I have to chuckle as I recall Bill Murphy repeating this saying from Charlie Brown. As far as I know, Charlie Brown was never in Australia; however, the saying is apropos. It's all or nothing. Well, sadly we left Sydney today but not really for the bush. We started our three-day drive (1022 km) down the east coast towards Melbourne and appreciated beautiful scenery as we rounded the turns or topped verdant hills. A picnic lunch in the seaside town of Wollongong (try to say that 3 times) gave Allan a chance to enjoy the view as well. We also saw our first roos since arriving in country. Because we had putzed around in an antique store a couple of hours in Sydney, we didn't arrive at our destination of Narooma (whoever heard of that) until 6:30. We finally found a "room with a view" overlooking a golf course and the Tasman Sea. Wish we could hang around to play a round in the morning, but we need to press on.
