Hardest part of any visit is not only finding it on a good day, but trying to time a selfie with the blowing actually happening.

The well known Cringila Kebab shop has been a part of my life for decades, we used to drive down there from Sydney just to grab one and go all the way back home.
Of course, no Illawarra trip was going to be complete without partaking in their quality product.
Sadly, the owner who I have known for decades recently sold it. So now I need to get to know the new one.
