Autumn Beach Treasure

May 5, 2015May 5, 2015Leave a comment

Autumn is one of our favourite times anywhere on the NSW coast. The water is usually still quite warm, winds often light from the west, the blues of the ocean deeper and the crowds have gone! Sometimes it feels like people just forget to go to the beach once summer ends, which makes the many beaches and rock pools of the south coast the ideal playground for you and your family. We love exploring the rockpools at Werri Beach, Walkers Beach, Shelly and Seven Mile/Gerroa Beach where these pics have been taken…. all just moments from The Shed.

Wine O’Clock

One of the many surprise discoveries we’ve had in our South Coast adventures, is the amount of amazing wineries there are just a stones throw away. With Autumn now upon us, it seems like the perfect time to be sitting in front of a roaring fire sipping on a freshly acquired glass of red from one of the local Cellar Doors. It’s not a bad way to get out of the wet weather either, as we did a few weeks ago having lunch & enjoying the view at Crooked River Wines

Wineries are located everywhere from Gerringong to Kangaroo Valley and Shoalhaven Heads to Bawley Point, and you can sample many of them at the 12th Annual Shoalhaven Coast Winter Wine Festival which is held over the June Long Weekend.

Cheers!

Come and Stay…

Waves

The South Coast is well known for its great range of waves, both beach and reef breaks, with a couple of the more famous ones just under an hour from The Shed. Thankfully there are usually plenty of quality waves on offer closer by, with some amazing local talent pushing their skills to the limit at the local beaches. You might even catch locals Sally Fitzgibbons & Owen Wright tearing it up between stops on the ASP World Tour. Whether you’re prepared to get amongst the busier bussle of Werri on weekends or head further up or down the coast to find some quieter quality – you’ll be sure to get some nice ones. And if you’re just starting out, Gerroa is known as one of the friendliest learner waves around!

Walkers Beach

This magical spot is the backdrop to the picturesque Gerringong Golf Course and only a hop skip and a jump away from us. We are lucky enough to view this stunning secluded beach from THE SHED, which at times can offer some great wedgy beach breaks, salmon and tailor according to the local fisherman, and rock pool fun for the kids. Walkers Beach is only accessible through the North end of Gerringong Golf Course.

Slab & Steel

The last few months have been an amazing experience as we witnessed the early stages of construction of THE SHED. From watching the pouring of our giant slab and the meticulous work of our concreters, to the touch and go placement of the enormous steel ‘A’ frames that would form the ‘backbone’ of THE SHED and the galvanised steel purlins that would form the ‘skeleton’. There was a lot at stake as all these elements would ultimately be exposed and a main feature of THE SHED, true to industrial architecture.
