Catching up with rels at Wyong Leagues Club (June 22)

So, whilst gaming last Saturday I received a text message from my sister asking me if she was at the right place. (She was close to my house but not quite there.) I must admit, it was quite a surprise. When she said she'd visit me within a couple of months I didn't expect it would be a couple of days after she had said that. Anyway, I provided an address as to where I was gaming and around 4pm there she was. 
After a night at a local hotel, we paid a visit to a cousin from mum's side of the family on Sunday morning, which then turned into lunch at Wyong Leagues at Kanwal. I hadn't been to this club since my sister lived in Lake Haven about a decade ago and I can safely say that the place hasn't changed since then.
For food choices, you have a choice of the Bistro or Sentosa, which provides a variety of Asian meals. I gave in an opted for some Chicken Pad Thai, which I hadn't had in quite some time. I must say it was absolutely delicious.

The one thing I'm finding common now when dining out, is the cost of meals. If you're not a member, a meal and a Brookvale Whisky and Dry on tap could well cost you about $40. Trust me, there wasn't much change left over. Still, I wasn't there so much for the meal and drink, but to catch with relatives. It was a nice spot to do it.

As for watery vistas to visit, the club isn't that far away from the Tuggerah Lakes. However, my sister and I stopped off at a little spot, roughly a five minute drive away, just off the Pacific Highway at San Remo, where my sister used to take her son fishing. Wallarah Creek branches off Budgewoi Lake, which when full, covers an area of 1400 hectares (3500 acres). It's the middle of the three Tuggerah lakes, which all connect, at The Entrance, to the Tasman Sea. If you're feeling energetic, you could walk from San Remo around the northern shore of the lake all the way around to Budgewoi. Last Sunday was a good day to do it seeing it hit 20°. Not bad for winter.
