We spent 2 nights in Wollongong. Mainly as we realised our cars tyres were bordering on illegal and also because the 250km drive from Bega took a lot longer than we had expected it would.
We stopped at Batemans Bay on the way up for lunch, Which had a great beach, but the weather wasn't to good and we wanted to get on.
There isn't alot there in fact writting this now a few days later I find it's hard to remember....
The main reason I thought we could stop there was because the map we have said it has the biggest Buddhist temple in the southern hemisphere...Fokuangshan Nan Tien Temple. Not that we wont see enough Temples in Asia!!!!! We spent a lovely few hours there, and if you are stuck in the area I would recomend a visit.... it was very tranquil... which considering where it is in the town/ city is bizzare. It's right on the edge of an industrial area, which unfortunatly spoils what would be some stunning views. It has some great little Buddha statues around the grounds and a wonderfull lilly pond. And I would recomend the cafe, which does fresh veggie food...... Even Russ
said if all Veggie food was that good he would go vegatarian......
But other than the temple Wollongong was... er... non eventful!!! We got the tyres done and headed North!!!!!
