Pokolbin to Shoal Bay. 170 kilometres of delightful, but a little pot holey early on, roads through to Shoal Bay. Shoal Bay is at the end of a promatory with access to the sheltered bays of the inlets and the Pacific Ocean. The run took us through farming / grazing country and no rain. The humidity continued but no storm to blow it off like last night. We would have had 2 inches of rain in an hour starting at 6 30pm or so.
All cars seemed to get to Shoal Bay and the Lombard ran very well. The roads were undulating and we had two give way bridges. This is where they are one way and someone needs to give way. One would have been 200 metres long. These used to be part of the Pacific Highway in Queensland a decade or so ago I think.
Anyway, off to dinner at Nelson Bay. 3.5 kms. A nice walk back would be good!
