Ulladulla and Mollymook

Today we travelled to the wonderfully named towns of Ulladulla (all short vowels), and Mollymook. No stranger I suppose than Petawawa and Nanaimo! Good friend Linda Nonen recommended fish and chips in Ulladulla so we timed our visit over the lunch-hour. Very tasty. A true vacation town, similar to Bateman's Bay, but the library there wanted $1.50/hour for internet as opposed to an hour free a day here in B.Bay. Coincidentally parked near a quilt shop which I may return to before we leave the area.
Mollymook is known for its surfing beach. The waves were few and far between but larger and more powerful than the ones at Long Beach, which is within walking distance to our home stay. And after our deep-fried lunch a long walk along the beach was also in order.
The 'shire' is installing underground wiring along the road we're living on and indeed work crews are the same here as in Canada. Lots of leaning on shovels, etc. And there are 2 flagmen who alternate 15 minute shifts. Quite a noisy operation so we're happy to head out and leave them to it.
