Narooma to Kalaru

Hi lovelies,

Today we traveled to Kalaru, which is between Bega and Tathra.

Our last two days in Narooma we stayed put as it was raining.  Keryn, Helen and Judy - my journal is again up to date :-).

There was still a bit of low cloud about as we left this morning and it did make for pretty sights.


We stopped at the Bega Cheese Factory for a look, this building also houses the information center so it was a 2 for 1 deal.


The display of relics and memorabilia was pretty cool. 


The fact that this small building inside the center was a cheese factory was pretty amazing.  You apparently do not need much room to make cheese.



This design took first place at Sydney Show in 2000.  It is made entirely from seeds.


We then headed into town to grab some supplies and spotted this memorial.  We have not seen one like this before.


Then it was off to find our park for the next week.  Kalaru is only 3km from the coast, so after lunch we headed off for a drive to see what was around.

We found Chamberlain Lookout, which gives a fabulous view of some coastline, and even more wonderful were the couple of whales that we saw.  Sorry your pic is of the coastline, not the whales.


We then headed to Tathra Wharf.  This is the only remaining open-sea wooden wharf on the east coast.





It dates from the times of the coastal steamer.  The wharf is really well maintained and had a number of people fishing from it. 




Robbie is planning a trip back there for fishing. 

We then headed around to Tathra Beach, where we managed to get a different view of the wharf.  It really is an amazing structure.


A bit more of a look around and then back to the van.

Wildlife today has included some fluffy cotton tailed bunnies who were have a fight (no pic), along with a group of birds having an afternoon snack.



A couple of peacocks, who were a little camera shy, and as the light faded we found a number of large kangaroos around the park.


It is a tad cool here tonight with an expected low of 2 overnight.  I am giving thanks for woolly socks and reverse cycle air-con.

Stay safe lovelies and keep enjoying life.

Love us.

 Hi all, Here a brief overview of our 2 day adventure on Fraser Island with Fraser Island Explorer Tours. Here is a link to our trip in video format.  https://youtu.be/QY8tr093G4o We were picked up from our accommodation by our tour guide who then picked up some more of our group and headed to the barge to go across to the Island. It was very smooth no seasickness this time :) We got on the 4x4 wheel bus and headed inland to Lake Mackenzie. This was a very picturesque spot. The water was very cool and the sand as white as we've seen it. After this we headed to Central station , the old tree clearing head quarters. Next we headed for Lake Wobby which was a 45 min trek in and 45 out across lots of sand. It sits on a big sand-blow which will eventually disappear. A small fresh water lake with a couple of cat fish in it. Then off to our accommodation for the night. The next day we headed out to run the beach pretty much all day heading all the way up to Champagne Pools. We eventua...
