Narooma

Moving slowly north, we spent another 6 days at Narooma, and found some lovely hidden gems. It has been many years - close to 40 - since visiting this area, and when I was a child, Narooma was a very popular summer holiday destination for my local town.

Narooma has some interesting rock formations, such as glasshouse rocks and Australia rock. There was also a seal colony basking on the breakwall. The first day we had a lovely bike ride from Narooma to Dalmeny (about 8km away) on a great bike path along the coastline. The bikes are starting to get a bit of use lately, and most coastal towns have wonderful bike paths.

The next day we drove south to Bermagui (great burger lunch in the pub), called into Mystery Bay on the way down. It's a very quiet, secluded beach - lovely! Also saw Camel rock and horse head rock - although you may need to use your imagination. On the way back we called into Tilba - what a wonderful, quirky town. Lots of crafty gift shops with some unique items. Very pretty town too.Read more
