Berkelouw's at Berrima in NSW used to be my favourite 'weekend go-to' haunt when I lived in Camden...The atmosphere alone never failed to soothe the savage spirit...

Connecting moments in my peninsula world, my Australia and beyond...Whatever speaks to my thalassophile soul in these tidal days...

hangover of choice...
hangover of choice: the smell of old books https://t.co/O4Ft1ZXXHn— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 8, 2020
One bookshop experience I will never forget is my time spent at Berkelouw's Book Barn, Berrima
on the south coast of New South Wales. Many holidays involved a necessary visit there. The bookshop was in the midst of fields...You could park your car and not be surprised to find a cow watching you right outside, (on Bendooley Estate). The bookshop was like a huge rambling ranch style house with a loft. (Since those days, it has now been upgraded to include a cafe.) I loved to visit Berkelouw's in winter. An armchair and the cosy roaring log fire was the place to settle while you browsed your book selection. And yes...the myriad scents of pre-loved books permeated everywhere...
