5/7/2019 Day 10 Tuross Head to Kiama

Awoke this morning to the sound of raindrops 

on our van’s roof. The view outside was not too 

exciting. Still, we have been pretty lucky up until 

today.

After breakfast we set off as usual... driving 

through forest and farm land. There are so many 

little towns.... sometimes only 10 km apart. 

Above is Moruya... so many of the towns have 

been able to retain their old buildings.

Dolphin Point .. amazing black rock and big

surf....

Watched these kids risking life and limb on the 

rocks and in the surf.

Morning tea stop was in Ulladulla...the sun was 

trying to come out...at the end of the beach is 

another Rock Pool.

Further up the coast is the beach that is 

said to have the whitest sand in the world...

Hyams Beach. The sand really was very white.

The one place we really wanted to visit was 

Booderee National Park... there are many tracks 

to walk and pristine beaches to see.

Murray’s Beach... absolutely breath taking... and no one in sight! How lucky were we that the sun 

reappeared and the rain stopped.

... and when we weren’t looking at the water 

we could turn around and see these 

magnificent gums.

Still in the National Park, we visited Cave Beach

Again... the fine sand and the reflections... 

A short walk around the headland and we were 

at Bherwerre Beach...see Pete?

Pete took this one...we decided we would 

return to Booderee one day.

....drove through more green countryside... and 

the rain returned.

Kendall Beach Kiama is where we are staying 

tonight...

4/7/2019 Day 9 Bermagui to Tuross Head

All along the coast it is either stunning cliffs or 

beautiful sandy beaches....this is from a lookout 

near Bermagui’s famous Blue Pool.

...an iconic rock pool at the base of a cliff. It 

is rated number six out of eight of the best

ocean rock pools in the world. When we arrived 

it was overcast but after a short while the sun 

came out.

Further around the headland we walked down tothe water’s edge and explored the rock pools.

Bermagui’s Fishermen’s Wharf...the Continental 

Shelf is just twenty kms offshore, making 

Bermagui the closest point to the Shelf on the 

Australian east coast. Most of their catch goes 

up to Sydney. I had marlin for dinner last night.

... a lucky shot ...

Horseshoe Bay... one of the many beaches 

in and around Bermagui.

Morning tea stop was at Lake Wallaga, one of 

the largest coastal lakes in NSW. The mountain 

behind is Mt Dromedary.

...spotted gums are everywhere in this part of 

the world...

From the Narooma cemetery you get this 

fabulous view of the Glasshouse Rocks. If you 

follow a track down the cliff you can get to the 

beach for a better look.

This was such a marvellous area to explore...

the colours of the rocks, their shapes and sizes

and the mighty waves that came rolling towards us...and the squeaky sand which gives such 

amazing reflections.

Tonight we are in Tuross Head, literally a few 

paces from Tuross Lake. Bliss.

  

3/7/2019 Day 8 Eden to Bermagui

Lake Curelo this morning

... the beach this morning...

Snug Cove... fisherman’s wharf... Eden

Red cliffs known as The Pinnacles in 

Ben  Boyd National Park...just north of Eden.

Stunning beaches in Ben Boyd National Park..

Haycock Point...Ben Boyd National Park...

...Barmouth Beach, Ben Boyd National Park..

...walking back from Barmouth Beach to Haycock Point... a wonderful bush walk..

The historic wharf at Tathra..

...the beach at Tathra...

Bermagui.... the view from our caravan park.

2/7/2019 Day 7 Lakes Entrance to Eden

Before leaving Lakes Entrance, Pete and I

did some sight seeing. Above is the panoramic 

view of the lakes and entrance channel seen 

from Kalimna Lookout.

Some of the many fishing vessels lining Marine

Parade.

One of the main attractions is the footbridge that 

 links the town to the surf and golden sands of 90 mile beach. In the distance you can see the 

Surf Lifesaving Club. The beach is beyond that.

The pub in Orbost.. a little country timber town.

We stopped for a coffee...

Most of our travel today was on the Princes 

Highway... sometimes through beautiful green 

farm land but mostly through state forests or 

National Parks.

Lunch stop in Genoa...listened to the bell birds..

....stretched our legs walking alongside the 

river then over the historic Genoa bridge.

Overnight we are staying in Eden, which is 

almost exactly half way between Melbourne 

and Sydney.
Our caravan park is on Lake 

Curalo and across the road is the beach.

There is a terrific board walk around the lake...

Forgot to say that our caravan park is called 

Reflections Holiday Park!

....from the lake walk to the beach ( stunning)  

..then back to our van for dinner (risotto in the 

 microwave).

These banksia trees are all along the beach front 

... hundreds of them.
