I spent the first 17 years of my life on the Central Coast of NSW. I lived with my parents in the village of Gorokan. I don’t tend to get back there much so it was great to spend four days staying at Bells at Killcare.
Although it is south of my original local area it nevertheless brought back a lot of pleasant memories.
The break was a substitute for a planned Pacific cruise with our good friends the Robsons which we couldn’t make due to my pending commencement of treatment for stage 4 melanoma.
Although the weather wasn’t ideal, it rained for 2 days, it didn’t spoil our time there. We spent time visiting some places I hadn’t been to for years such as Umina, Kincumber and Ettalong Beach. I came across a number of cricket ovals where I played some senior cricket with Wyong as a youngster.
One of the real surprises was the small village of Pearl Beach. Below are some photographs of view over the village, and the village itself, including the superb Pearls on the Beach restaurant.

After a stroll along the beach we came across this place with an unbelievable view and even better food.
We like Peal beach so much we are planning to book a full week there in the near future.
Our next trip is this weekend in Canberra. Then my treatment commences.
