Hi lovelies,
I know it has been a few days. We have moved from Jervis Bay and are now at the lovely town of Batemans Bay.
On Saturday we headed off to Moruya to check out the local markets. It is about 1/2 hour south of Batemans Bay and quite a pleasant drive. The markets were quite large and had lots on offer. Our purchase for the morning was a pair of gloves for me. It has been a bit chilly here.
From the markets we took a trip to Moruya Head to see if we could see any whales. None appeared this time. The rock formations at the lookout were really quite special.
As were these gorgeous little fellows who were playing at the nearby beach.
It was then off to the village of Mogo. We had passed this on the way to the markets and decided it would be worth a stop on the way back.
I found a scrapbook store. Ladies if you thought I packed a lot into the 'Patch', you have not seen anything. What this lady had in her store was a sight to behold. She did hold classes, but I am not sure where, and there was only room for one person in each aisle. Every space was filled with goodies. I spent a little time in there just looking at everything, but am sure I missed lots.
We continued to wander around the shops and saw some very interesting things.
I made some new friends at the lolly shop.
These are the only types of possums I want in my garden.
I am sure they were joking about going for a ride.
This one is for Aileen.
A brilliant piece of wood carving.
Sunday it was off to church, and this time we visited Bay Life Church. These worshipers are part of the International Network of Churches. They are a small lively congregation and we had a great time there.
Monday was wet and windy, so we stayed inside for most of the day. We did venture out for a small drive after lunch to see some of the local beaches, but were not out long.
Today was a "Let's go for a walk" day. I had seen a walk in one of the books to a place called Snake Bay. There was a photo on the page of a lovely sandy beach with stingrays.
The original walk was 6 hours and Robbie was a little reluctant to go. I then found a brochure that showed you could come from the other side starting at Pebbly Beach.
It was just 3 hours, and so we decided that would do us. I could not wait to see if we would spot some stingrays.
The walk went along the coast line and I have to admit that I think I may have blown all credibility with walking trails.
The path was not very well defined in areas, had large up and down sections, had creeks to cross.
The half way point is Clear Point and it does offer a great view of the coast line.
It did go past a number of bays, but there was not too many vantage points to see them from the walk and the walk did not go down to these bays.
Snake Bay has no beach and it certainly would not be an area to see stingrays.
It was also not 3 hours, nor the 7.8km as stated on the sign.
We were very thankful when we returned to the parking area, and could sit in the car. On the plus side, we did see a couple of liar birds, and also some kangaroos, and this gorgeous butterfly. It has blue wings when they are open, and red, black, yellow and blue when closed. Pretty cool.
What did I learn from our walk today. I think that 3 hours is my limit, but more importantly, check the captions on the photos in brochures. The picture of the stingray was not only not at Snake Bay, but it was on a completely different walk. It was 50km from where we were!!!!!!!
We took out weary bodies back to the van where we had a spot of lunch and then it was time to try some fishing. This was as successful as always 😏.
So back to the van for a rest.
All for now lovelies.
Stay safe and keep enjoying life.
Love us.
