[toisthbe]

i wanna kno wat good sites to take photos wif friends
i wanna kno where is fun places to go to...
u kno..those stufff

 

[hipsta_jess]

ok, well if you like walking, take a hike to the top of mount tomaree, its one of the two head lands (along with yacaba) and it is the most awesome photo op from up there (but keep in mind it is a headland, it is pretty high, and if you are not fit it can be a hard walk-although it is a lot better now, they have put in proper walking platforms and stuff-before you had to literally climb over rocks and around trees and stuff)
other photo ops-well i guess everywhere is pretty picturesque, so i guess any of the beaches

fun stuff....well there is tenpin bowling, tobogganing down the side of a hill, indoor rock climbing, a go carting thing (thats out of the bay a little bit, you will see it as you drive through), a pool, movies, beaches etc.

 

[toisthbe]

ten pin!! u can do that in sydney!
cool i like tobogoganin..
hmm not much we can do in 3 days..damn

 

[hipsta_jess]

yeah i know, theres not a whole lot to do...oh theres also dolphin-watch cruises (wrong time of yr to get whales, but theres ALWAYS dolphins)
and theres always the beach

 

[toisthbe]

cool im writing all this down..yeh so
toboganing, fishing, dolphins, hiking, indoor rock climb,

is there putput?? hehe

 

[MiuMiu]

I have a unit near Shoal Bay, we go up there to relax not to do stuff so theres not a lot I can suggest apart from fishing (try little beach for that), 4 wheel driving at the Sand Dunes at Anna Bay, the Anna Bay Pub, swimming and like Jess said, tobogganing (its not cheap though). Oh and definitely go one the Dolphin Watch Cruise (they leave from near the marina). Breakfast at the marina is pretty good too.

unless the tarago is 4wd, you will need to go on a professional one, im not sure how much they are, but thier not cheap
the tavern? you have to be joking!! if you want to go to a pub while your up there, go to the one near the salamander bay shoppin centre, its much newer and betterer. i guess the tavern is worth a look-in, but dont base an entire stays entertainment around it

oh, but opposite the tavern theres a really really good chinese takeaway shop, ya gotta try it, they do the best peking steak!

That would be Anna Bay dunes (it goes all the way around to Stockton). And yeah, ur only allowed to take 50 pippis, and I wouldn't eat them.....

fishing at tea gardens is fun, and theres a good pancake place in tea gardens, plus a good ice cream joint, and nice seafood places if ur hungry.

that is Birubi beach, which eventually turns into Stockton beach. Where you go on is at Anna Bay
There are heaps of pippis, but the law was changed a few years back, you can use as many as you want on the beach, but now you can no longer take any from the beach

 

[hk31]

hmmm...i have no idea what places are nice to go to....but
can you tell me how long you're for and how much your rent is....????

 

[toisthbe]
