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.
