Mum's new crib.

Mum recently decided to have a change of lifestyle and move to Shellharbour.

If you haven't heard of Shellharbour it is roughly 1.5-2hrs south of Sydney, depending on traffic! It is a small town surrounded by beaches and has a real nice atmosphere about it! It is the next city south of Wollongong, but lets make this clear, according to Shellharbour inhabitants they are not the same place :)

There is this mad beach called The Farm and my mate Shellee was telling me that before her time there was no such suburb called Shell Cove and you would have to drive up a dirt road to get there, and that when you reached the farm you would pay the farmer something like 20cents upon entry to drive through his farm and park and then walk the epic hill down to the beach, its facing south so gets a different swell to other Eastern beaches. I think the best part is that in 2009 it was declared a National Surfing Reserve, meaning that it will be protected as a surfing beach.

Lets also not forget the little gem called Sam's Warehouse, my first day in Shellharbour and I was in there for about 1.5hours! It's my new favourite place, a toaster and a jug for $6 each, Solar lights 2 for $5, buckets and buckets for cheap DVD's.

Mum's place is literally a 50mtr walk to the beach (Warilla), and its a massive beach with nice waves and quiet enough to have an awesome day there! She is also in the same neighbourhood as NRL players Trent Barrett and Matt Cooper, definitely a good enough reason to go for a walk in the morning for the chance to see them walking their dogs or on their way to the beach!
