the best kind of place






a sunny, restful day in a little seaside town called Patonga. Fish and chippies for lunch followed by a good afternoon reading session in the sun. There’s a little place called Dark Corner and there’s about 5 cottages perched on the headland. They’re heritage listed and only accessible by car if the tide is low. Imagine living there. Just imagine.

I needed this day after the past week. I’ve written so many words and taught 5 classes. It’s been good but exhausting. Another busy week ahead. I’m glad I had the down time.
I like an early Sunday night…this being one of them.

    Patonga is really quaint, isn't it!

    Your photos are gorgeous.

    We were at North Entrance beach for most of yesterday, it was lovely in the fresh breeze, watching the sets roll in. Was hoping for a bit of whale spotting, but alas, nothing.

    Have a great week.

    Hello Jodi. These photos bring back lovely memories. Marty and I lived in Patonga when we first moved to the coast. We rented a tiny fibro cottage right on the beach near the tennis courts. Our view was straight on to Barrenjoey and the light house would gently light up the wall behind our bed at night. The community was very welcoming to us. This was all pre baby and they sold the cottage so we had to reluctantly move.
    I would very much recommend visiting in Summer and when the tide is running out of Patonga creek, grab a lilo and lie with the outgoing tide gently taking u out to the creek mouth to the ocean. Very safe and the most beautiful spot in Australia and most loveliest thing to do on costa centrale.
