Wollongong

Bombo Quarry has become a very popular spot for sunrise photography due to the unique walls and columns left over from the quarrying in the 1800's. This shot was taken during sunset when we witnessed a supermoon rising over the ocean. #localsecrets

old quarry fantastic for photos
Finally made it down to visit The Boneyard in Kiama. This place feels like you're in another world. I got there in perfecting timing for the sunset.
So many photographic possibilities here any time of the day.....definitely worth a visit if you are heading down the NSW South Coast

The room was extremely basic. Not only did it not have a couch to sit on, it didn’t even have a single couch seat. And although I paid extra for a room with a lake view or partial lake view, I can’t remember which, you could only see a bit of the water if you stood in a particular spot in the room ...
