Recalling that D.H. Lawrence wrote Kangaroo down at Thirroul, we decided to take a drive south of Sydney to the Illawarra coast.
There are still buildings that would have stood in Lawrence's day.
and streetscapes he may have known (such as this in Austinmer):
But I'm reminded that the Illawarra escarpment is another of those iconic images of Australia I carry with me wherever I go.
Of course, the Lawrences (D.H. and Frieda) went from this part of Australia to the US in September 1922, settling mostly in Taos, New Mexico.
