There was a time when no one mentioned Milton without twinning it with Ulladulla. The two towns were so close – one on the ridge, one beside the sea – that they had become Milton-Ulladulla in the minds of most visitors. Today Milton has acquired a separate identity. It has attracted artists and alternative lifestyle folk who don’t want to live by the sea but want to live in a relatively inexpensive town with interesting inhabitants and an easy proximity to Mollymook, one of the best beaches on the South Coast. Milton’s economy was originally driven by fishing, dairying and timber. Today it has become a chic village characterised by gift shops, good restaurants and cafes and well-preserved historic buildings. Unfortunately, like Berry further north, it has not been by-passed and consequently all traffic travelling through the area drives down the main street.
Great day on the tracks down south.
Got to the meeting point at 7, and got home after 8!
Very long day.
Started off pretty mellow but soon we were struck with drama.
One tricky climb only a few minutes on the dirt got Lauren, Thomas, Wayne and Ray stuck.
Luckily Galvin was up the top so turned around and winched them all up the hill.
Things went pretty smooth after that for a while, until someone noticed a shock dangling from under my car.
I pulled it out and kept going with out any drama.
Beautiful view from the trig point along with a fierce climb and descent getting up and back.
Last stop of the day was Yadboro flats campground where lauren found a leech had been feasting on her belly button.
This caused everyone to frantically search themselves for signs of the horrible critters!
