First though, I took a couple hours out of the morning to drive 10 minutes into the next coastline village, Thirroul. Thirroul is a little bit bigger than Woonona, and it was definitely home to more weekend getaway visitors. I walked around the little town for a bit and popped into a few shops just for fun.
Then I headed down to check out Thirroul Beach. It seemed pretty popular with surfers, but not so good for just swimming. That didn't stop me from jumping in the water to cool off for just a minute though!
It was a lovely beach and soooo deserted compared to Sydney beaches. It was really weird to be on a beach with so few people, but really nice!
I just stayed in Thirroul for a little bit because our afternoon adventure was waiting on us! So after a nice lunch at the apartment, we headed out to find Bass Point Reserve. Bass Point Reserve is named after George Bass who explored a lot of Australia.
Within the reserve, there were two areas we wanted to check out. One was an overlook of the coast called Fisherman's Point.
Fisherman's Point also doubles as an evacuation route in case of a bushfire. These are the things that I wouldn't usually think about but are really necessary when you live in Australia. I would hate to be stuck out on those rocks waiting for rescue from a fire, but at least someone thinks of things like an escape route!
Our second stop was Bushrangers Bay, which was a quiet little bay. There were a few clusters of families there there, camped out to celebrate the Australia Day weekend.
It was a pretty perfect way to end our stay in Woonona.
