Hi lovelies,
What a wonderful day we have had today. We got to see some seals having a sleep on the rocks of the breakwater in Naroom.
But before I go on more about them, I need to tell you what we did for the past couple of days, and about our travels today.
Thursday the weather cleared and we went off for a bit of a drive.
Nelligen is a sleepy little town on the banks of the Clyde River about 15 minutes from Batemans Bay.
Many of the buildings are heritage listed and the outside of them has been kept in good condition. The building are now all privately owned, so you don't get to wander around and see the insides.
A ferry operated across the river until 1964 when the bridge was opened.
The road connects Canberra with Batemans Bay. I think if we had the length of delay that road users faced prior to the bridge there may have been some major road rage incidents. Hopefully in days gone past, people were not in so much of a hurry.
Robbie did a spot of fishing in the afternoon and managed to catch this sand crab. We sent him back to grow a little more.
Friday we took a trip to Gorilla Bay. We had a walk around the headland and checked to see if we could see any whales, but not this trip.
It is a very pretty view, and people in this area are obviously a little more sensible than in other regions. There are no fences, and no signs to warn people to stay away from the edge, they just expect you to use your common sense.
The Bay itself is just lovely. Very sheltered and the water was clear and calm.
We had decided to go to Gorilla Bay to see the rock formations that we had heard about. It was said that they were caused by the tectonic plates crushing together and date back to Gondwanaland times.
They were definitely interesting to look at, and the angled structures did indeed look like they had been forced up out of the earth at an angle rather than the normal look of rocks appearing horizontal with the land.
It too was a lovely bay. I got comfortable with a book, and Robbie went off to hunt and gather.
Today was moving day again. This time our journey was a massive 58km.
We stopped at the goregous seaside town of Tuross Heads. The drive in is spectacular with water on both sides of the inlet. I might be a nice place to go back to.
There is a boardwalk at the entrance of the river and the water there is crystal clear and looked so pretty, but also looked pretty cold.
We continued on our way and stopped at Bodalla to see the Cheese Factory.
Alas it is Saturday and so the factory was not working, but that did not stop us looking, or buying some cheese at the cafe.
Then onto Naroom and getting set up on our site for the next 9 days. What a magnificent view.
After lunch we went for a little drive to see Australia Rock. A fun place to take a photo.
There is a breakwater there and we were blessed to see some seals.
They were just lazing around on the rocks.
I did wonder for a bit if they were no longer living, but they did move.
There is a sign warning not too get too close, but don't you just want to squeeze this ones cheeks.
Robbie has put a video up of the seals if you want to check it out by clicking here.
For Nana, Gramps and Judy, our park is literally in the middle of a golf course. They have stunning views, but I think you would be in trouble if you overshot the greens.
More pictures of the course tomorrow, if the weather clears. :-)
All for now lovelies.
Stay safe and keep enjoying life.
Love us.

Alas the area is a protected zone, so no fishing there.
We headed off to Rosedale Bay were Robbie decided it might be a nice place to fish.
It too was a lovely bay. I got comfortable with a book, and Robbie went off to hunt and gather.
Alas all he managed to collect was wet shorts.
