Must say, I'm still keen on the 'Gong drive up to Robertson for a pie. Maybe, if we have enough, we could have 2 drives?
Balmoral or Windsor on 8th and 'Gong on 9th?
As for Balmoral Beach, we could avoid Military road by taking the long route around. Comenarra Parkway (Turramurra) and Wakehurst Parkway (Allambie Heights) are both good driving roads (for suburbia). I think Bather's Cafe would be better than Awaba.
