Chinese New Year getaway

Last Friday, the family had a getaway down the south coast of NSW for a two day one night trip. Eric's dad had arrived from hk for the cny. And it's a family tradition to go away together for a trip during his time here. We did Melbourne trip last year? So this year we are thinking of going down to south coast as I can't take too many holidays from clinic.  

Eric planned a seafood and food harvest trip. Aimed to get fresh oysters from the farm and fesh seafood from the fishing villages. And of course visit some farms to get season fruits and veges. 

We set off at 9.30 am, towards Wollongong. Along the way, we had to go through a national park, with roads so windy, that I got severe car sick. The many snacks that we bought didn't helped much but make it worse. Haha. 


We crossed valleys and mountains.

And finally arrived along the coast!


 
And we drove along the famous sea cliff bridge. It was constructed after the old road was destroyed by landslide. 



Some remains of the old road was visible on the bridge. 

After that, we stop by the first farm to buy some fresh produce. 


Apples! And they do have other things like farm produced wine, honey, ciders, jams....


And we also tried picking raspberries!


Choosing the most dark colored ones.


And pull them out and there it is!

We bought their award winning wine and ciders too, made from the apples and honey collected on their farm. It won the bronze medal! The wine is made from pure honey and yeast, and is a very nice sweet desert wine. 


After loading the car with lots of apples and other produce, we head off to this look out point, which oversees the whole of Wollongong. 


We ended up having lunch at the cafe next to the look out. Good choice!
Look at the big servings of yummy food! We select 4 dishes to share among 5 of us.


Grace chose: Their signature burger with ham off the bone.
Love the real ham which they pan fried like a bacon!


Dad chose the fish meal with mango salsa and salads.


I chose sandwich with ham off the bone. Yumm!


Eric chose the beef chunk pie which comes with super crunchy fries!

Burp!
The inside of the cafe.


The nice window view from our seat.


Thank you for a wonderful meal The Cliff Hanger cafe!


I'll blog about the rest of the journey in the next post. Stay tune!
