someday hopefully not too far away

aaah manyana
i have no idea what this place is like (google maps can only tell you so much),

but some "tomorrow" i'd like to get to manyana

lots of beach houses there,
like this one, sea deck with a view out to green island and right on the beach

between cunjurong point and bendalong, north o' ulladulla and mollymook, south of jervis bay

local papers say that there is a suburb development on the horizon,

it's a gorgeous area - surrounded by lakes, sea and national park - but this means it would be bush-fire prone (we're in australia after all)
there were bushfires (deliberately lit) in september and november

around the corner is cunjurong point ... with the "cunji shop" - local landmark, apparently

here's a house at cunjurong point, 85 steps to the beach

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
