Mystery Bay, south coast of New South Wales
When we travel we often watch out for local bakeries to visit. It’s an indulgence of ours – and a lot of other people I know.
To be fair we did need to get some fresh bread to make sandwiches for our lunch later in the day. We found a suitable bakery in one of the towns we passed through on our journey south along the south coast of New South Wales.
A little further on we pulled off the main road into the picnic area at Mystery Bay. This is a part of the Eurobodalla National Park. It was a lovely sojourn while we enjoyed a cup of tea and the delights of the bakery.

Picnic at Govett’s Leap, Blue Mountains
Govett’s Leap, Blue Mountains
During our day trip to Leura and Katoomba we stopped for afternoon tea in the picnic grounds at Govett’s Leap in the Blue Mountains. We had bought some nice goodies to eat from a local bakery.
During our picnic I made a list of the birds heard or seen in the surrounding forest, while my daughter caught up on a little reading.

After our visit to Katoomba we drove on to Govett’s Leap. On the way we bought some goodies from a local bakery for afternoon tea. At Govett’s Leap there is a very pleasant picnic ground complete with picnic tables. The scenery from the lookout is truly spectacular.

Over recent days I have posted several photos of the Three Sisters and the landscape taken from Echo Point in Katoomba. Today I present several more photos of this magnificent place.

During our visit to Katoomba in the Blue Mountains just after last Christmas I took quite a few photos of the Three Sisters and the landscape views from Echo Point Lookout.
We’d visited this spot on a number of previous times but I did not have any digital photos of this amazing physical feature. You actually have to visit this spot to appreciate the size of these sandstone stacks, but you can get a little understanding by looking at the photo above. The size can be gauged by the size of the people on the walkway in the lower left hand corner of the photo.
