Today was huge we travelled north from Bermagui to Tuross Head.

At Regatta point the inlet to Wallaga lake we watched surfers one of which had his dog watching him and when he caught his last wave in the Dog swam the inlet to greet him.

We had a glimpse of Mystery Bay and on to Narooma. WOW loved this place.

Out with the bikes and we rode right around the waterways past a golf course with views that would distract from play.

Joanne enjoyed a close encounter with a seal.

Call into Dalmeny great little Caravan park right on the beach. Worth remembering.

Finally as night fell was fast approaching on to Tuross Head amazing water inlet to large lake.Read more

Bermagui & Tilba Tilba
April 7, 2018 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
We stayed at Bermagui we biked to Camel rock that was some what of an adventure Joanne had a fall on the track injury was minor.

We admired the Blue pool but the water temp and winds made the experience of a swim not inviting enough.

Tilba Tilba boutique shops and cafes. A short drive to the coast to a cemetery with a million dollar location what a spot to rest in peace.

Views north south and west into the Dromaderry mountain. Which is aboriginal pregnant women.

Wacth beach fishing for salmon Kel pick up some local knowledge. Picnic on the headland the aspect was picture perfect.

Finished the day with sunset at the point of Bermagui.Read more
