Dear BigRay, Thank you for your comment. I could not understand what "Haven" is (because I am a Japanese resident), but I think it is worth to put our money to protect such beautiful coastlines.

In Australia, people enjoy barbecue in parks. Usually, every park has free barbecue facilities, sometimes it requires 2 dollars or something, but in such a case, you do not need to prepare firewood.

River-crossing ferries make me feel Australia. It is slow and only has limited carrying capacity, but it seems that people really enjoy it.

After attending a scientific meating at in Canberra, my family and I drove down for this resion. Our visit to Buckenderra was pure accident (it was sunset and we had to decide where to stay). In the isolated surcumstance and welcome by wallabies, we felt a heart of Australia.

I miss tiny parks like here in Australia. It is calm and peaceful. They are always along the road side modelately and never claim meaing of their presence hard, but really oasys for dirivers, families, and local residents.

Wangi Wangi is one of the best places to visit around Lake Macquarie, which a Japanese group tourist never knows. My daughter was very happy to feed pericans, and we enjoyed lunch here.

I miss the Road Warriors' Cafe very much. For this cafe, I always took the old Pacific Hwy to go for North. It is now closed, I heard. One of rituals for driving for Central Coast was gone.

Bobbin Head is treasure for people around Sydney. When I visit Syndeny,I always make a day for driving around here and Central coast.

When I visited here in 1998, the humberger at the restaurant in this Park Office was very nice.
