Chittaway Bay (May 22)

Naturally there are plenty of places around here that are far easier to get to if you have a car. I was off for a drive on this particular day to pick up a friend that lives in Killarney Vale and along the way we stopped off for a late lunch. In this particular location at the junctions of Lakeside and Bluebell Avenues is a collection of businesses, mostly eateries. One was spoiled for choice straight away.
I just walked into the one that was closest, which turned out to be Lake Edge Chicken and Seafood, a small little takeaway with a couple of round plastic tables out the front. Thankfully there was a far better dining area across the road, namely Bluebell Park, a small lot currently undergoing a transformation at the time with a children's play area being installed in the back half next to the cycle way, which should have been finished by the time I posted this. Seeing it was a nice day we elected to eat there.

The closest I have to a shot of Chittaway Bay is this photo taken from the
other side of Lake Tuggerah at Long Jetty. I'll rectify that when I get the chance.

Once again, my selection was a chicken burger, whilst my host for the extended weekend opted for some battered barramundi. As it transpires, there was an awful lot of chips wasted – we probably could've just shared a small serving between us and still had some leftover. Still, both items off the menu was satisfactory, with the meal for two (including drinks) costing just under $40.
Thankfully I was able to locate the takeaway in a street directory (and confirm it with Google earth) for a return visit seeing I didn't get any pictures. I'm sure I saw a Red Bus pass us when we were parked, so I'll have to investigate what routes run down that road. If my ankles and calves were feeling cooperative, I could walk around the bay to Lake Jetty and catch a Gosford bound bus from the highway, or at the rear of Stockland Bay Village in Bateau Bay.
