The Sydney-Melbourne Coastal Drive is one of Australia's most scenic touring routes. Our family travelled this route in the week of 29 Sep 2008. Using the Princes Highway and along scenic coastal roads, it took us through a tapestry of rustic country towns and fishing villages. When we travel inland we passed rich dairy pastures and vineyards that are the source of some of Australia’s finest cheeses and wines. We visited national parks, beautiful surf beaches and pristine lakes.
We travelled pass Kiama, Jervis Bay, Moolymook, Bateman Bay, Narooma, Bermagui, Tathra, Merimba, Pambula to Eden; all strange Australian Aboriginal names/ Our first stop was Callala Beach where we rented a beach house for seven days.
We arrived in pitch black darkness to a bungalow, 77 Quay Road, on the beachfront of Callala Beach. By then James had exhausted himself crying all the way from Kiama. He did not like being strapped in an infant car seat and driven along unlit roads.

Callala Beach is a 4 km stretch of white sandy beach on the northern shore of Jervis Bay. A family of 6 bottle-nosed dolphins greeted us as they swam past the house each morning. I guess they were checking out the new residents. One day they paraded up and down the shallow waters of the beach, making U-turns close to the beach in front of the house.
