taking things littorally

while i don't want to live in an octupuss's garden, i would dearly love to hang out by the sea
well, it's practically unaustralian not to have seachange longings.
my practical brain says: if you don't live somewhere permanently, it means you can stay at lots of different places and explore a lot.

here is a place which i think would be wonderful to get to know better

broulee
10 wirrunna st (holiday rental) - between broulee island and the south beach









there is another house just around the corner that looks a bit fancy, too
suits my down-at-heel aesthetic!
cool house in mossy point where we have stayed, down the street from the muffin shop - very good place with secondhand paperback books, good coffee, ace atmosphere
town of manyana, just north of mollymook, in the middle of state forest
"classic beach bungalow"
and ooh, another swanky place in manyana, this one's for sale...
(and also for holiday rental)
probably ain't called manyana for nothin'...





surf story in the smh, them's the breaks
There's more quality surf up the road at Green Island, north of Ulladulla. This spot was the first big surf discovery south of Sydney and was once considered the best left-hander in the country. The growth in short boards has taken the gloss off its reputation but the wave is still rewarding.
Nearby towns such as Manyana and Bendalong are in classic NSW surf settings, with lively sand-bottomed waves on beaches nestled between wooded headlands dotted with beach shacks. You won't find solitude but you'll be far enough away from the hustle and bustle to make surfing here on a longboard rewarding
