Late start on the road to Nowra. Approximately two hour drive. Almost everyone had the chance to drive on the left side of the road. Some adjusted well behind the wheel, while others needed to practice a bit more on Duc's off-road simulation game at home. Stopped by a national park on our way to climb outdoors. Inhabitants included wombats, lyrebirds, and platypus. I spied a handful of lyrebirds though they were not as approachable and vocal as I had envisioned. View the waterfall below.

Day four. Destination from Congee Beach to Bondi Beach.
Note to self: Wear comfortable shoes and lather yourself from head to toe with sunscreen (minimum SPF 35). The walk was roughly 3km with sand, stairs, and really good looking people from Congee to Bondi.

Do not climb this rock.
And they lived happily ever after.

Get your climb on.
Aaron campused the route. Twice.
We finally reached Bondi Beach with an hour or so to frolic in the semi-cold Pacific Ocean. Dmitri, Aaron, and I body surfed the waves, while the rest remained dry next to the orange flag. On the way out to scavenge for dinner, an attractive beach blonde-haired surfer caught my eye. Le sigh.
