NSW South Coast

I didn't realise travelling was so tiring! or maybe travelling with kids is the reason I am in bed by 8pm most nights this week!
The last few days have seen really high temperatures so everywhere we went at least one of us was hot and bothered, we have also battled large crowds because we are on the coast at the moment in peak season and its even slow driving on the roads.
We stayed at Berry Showgrounds which is a little in from the coast and at just $12 per night including power with the kids staying for free, this has been our cheapest stay to date.
The amenities are a little smaller than other places we have stayed at but we were lucky enough to be camped right next to them so its an easier walk with the kids.
The management are really friendly and there is a laundry and a share kitchen with the local swimming pool right next door.
The town of Berry is really pretty with lots of little cottage shops on both sides of the street, shopping is a little more expensive here so we travelled to Nowra if we needed anything major.
Berry does lack a good playground but there are plenty in towns nearby.
The woodfired pizza shop however is absolutely amazing! Best pizza I have ever had hands down and the famous donut van is Ants favourite.
We had a storm hit yesterday which cooled the temperature right down, there is something special about camping in the rain inside a tent all snuggled up warm...it sure is nicer than being inside a tent on a sweltering day!
We took advantage of the cooler day today and visited the Fitzroy Falls and I am so glad we did.
The scenery is absolutely stunning, it felt like we were up in the clouds and Ruby thought the forest looked like a storybook.
We also visited Tallowa dam and Kangaroo Valley where we had lunch at the local bakery.
There were so many cliffs and caves to look at as we drove up the mountains and then down into the valleys below.....such a beautiful part of Australia X
