One day during my recent blissful beach holiday my camping comrades and I escaped the tents, donned boots, buckled up and went exploring.
We went four-wheel driving and hiked a little way up to the summit of Gulaga - Mount Dromedary. As we wandered, my cousin Moo and I were like competing paparazzi, snapping here and there at all of the beautiful highlights of nature.
Under all of the tree cover we stumbled through moss covered twigs and trunks and my cousin J and I pondered our futures and talked about hopes and dreams.
I've been going on Christmas beach holidays with my extended family for over 20 years. And, every year, we visit the nearby National Trust registered towns of Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba.
These are two gorgeous little tourist spots. My favourite little shop is Vintage Poppy down at Tilba Tilba. And I SO want to hold a party in the beautiful hall in Central Tilba. Doesn't it look so amazing? The cheese factory also offers free tastings of it's yummy products.
So if you're ever roadtripping on the NSW South Coast it's definitely worth a quick detour.
Oh, and p.s. that spunky, green stepladder is now joining me in the ladypad. Hurrah!
