As we move further south, we've been doing short hops along the coast. Next stop, we stayed at Corrimal Beach on the northern parts of Wollongong.

The standout feature these past few days were the violent seas bashing the coastline.
I had an experience I never want to have again - While photographing on Corrimal Beach with my camera on tripod about 30 to 40m from the water's edge, I was inundated by a rogue breaker. Struggling to stay upright and keep my gear in the air, within a few seconds I was bum deep in the incoming then outgoing wash. I tried to scamper clear but couldn't outrun it. So I dug the tripod solidly into the beach and hung on until it subsided. Lesson learned.
Next day, we took a run down to Bombo Headland and Kiama Blowhole.

The seas at Bombo were something to behold. From the photos, you cannot get the sense of scale but the cliffs are around 20m high and sprays were spilling up to 10m above them at times. Such awesome power of nature! Check out the videos attached below.

From Wollongong, we trekked on down to the village of Milton. Here we stayed at the best showgrounds we've come across in our travels.
We took a drive to Ulladulla and visited a couple of beaches in the area.
