Breakfast in Wollongong & Lunch in Gerringong
We
have booked at the HarbourFront Café & Bar for our breakfast/morning
tea stop. Approximately 10.00-11.00. The HarbourFront are offering their
"HarbourFront Big Breakfast", (Italian sausage, 2 eggs your way,
tomato, bacon, hash brown and sautéed mushrooms) for $14.50.
For quick service, and convenience for the staff, we need to know
in advance, numbers of those who will be requiring the "big
breakfast". Please
notify Franki Pinkerton by 30 November on 4229 4053 or email pinko37@fishinternet.com.au,
so we can give the café ample notice.
Other
breakfast selections will be available, however, you may have to wait a
little longer.
This run
takes us south of Sydney, along the old Princes Hwy and into Wollongong
for morning tea, via Mt Keira, then on to Gerringong, driving through some
delightful winding country-side, for lunch at Mick Cronan’s Hotel.
The homeward leg can be either the reverse of the morning run, or
via the Princes Highway then onto Sydney via the F6.
