  Will miss you Mostro.  Catch up on visit No:2 ?

C'mon Vince - no excuse now. You can carry all our gear. 

Yeah, bummer Heather, but I think you'll be in town for a bit won't you ?

yes, as per Nick's post, you guys can have a ride, plus Vince can bring all the picnic gear !

Yeah a picnic in Kangaroo Valley down by the river how very romantic.
Arancini, cafe, custard cannoli.

At this rate, I might have to bring the fourby and the fridge instead of the Monster. Need the fridge to keep the Chinotto cold!

The Sherpa can carry anything and everything. Chinotto too.

Hay Matty
not familiar with the destination's layout.
Is this a BYO tea sandwiches and scones in the back pack
or is there a cafe for refreshments and
Somewhere for a swim so I can pack the budgie smuglers and chamois towel ?

Dez, usually eat at the pub in Kangaroo Valley, but there's other options as well - bakery / pie shop etc...

[heatherp]

And I'm sure we can at least find a puddle somewhere to warrant packing said budgie smugglers. 

[goldFiSh]

Your options would be at the coast, not at KV I would think - Kiama / Geringong, or one of the beaches within the RNP.

So I thought I would post up some more details for those not familar with the Illawarra loop:

Typical running sheet for a day with lots of people:

 8.00am:  Meet at Shell Kirrawee - Cnr of the Boulevard and Princess Hwy, Kirrawee. Fuel up.
 8.30am:  Depart, via the Royal National Park.
              Stop briefly at Bald Hill (Stanwell Tops) to regroup, collect any others meeting here
              Fuel Stop at Albion Park Rail (for the S4Rs) and regroup - there's no easy fuel at KV from memory.
              MQ Pass, past the Pie Shop, through Robertson and onto Pearsons Lane to Kangaroo Valley
12.00pm: Lunch @ Kangaroo Valley
 1.30pm:  Continue South via Camberrawarra Mountain.
              At then end, back up to Albion Park via "Kiama International Speedway"
              Fuel up and then back north via Mt Keira and the RNP again.
 4.30pm   Back into Sutherland, to go our own ways..
