Step 4 Merimbula - Narooma. Sunday 14th - 17th November

Short drive up Highway 1 to Narooma and checked into East Big 4 Caravan Park by 12:30. Signed up for Big 4 Membership - yee ha more discounts.

Lovely day as we set up so wandered across the bridge to the fresh fish shop on the river. Picked up a lovely piece of Cameron (Ling) for tea and stopped at the ice cream shop on the way back to MM.

By 6 o'clock weather had turned and the rain set in - all through the night. Quite certain that we did not order rain, for any part of the trip :-( But that said it's not that cold, well not inside MM anyway.

Monday and it's still quite overcast and drizzling but cleared up a bit by 10:30 and we were able to head out for a walk to Bar Rock lookout



and Australia rock - see it really does look like Australia !

Tuesday, still overcast but, ignoring the internet weather forecast, headed off on the bike to Central Tilba  Picked up some cheese at yet another cheese factory and wandered around the town - which is entirely Heritage listed (my this blog is becoming informative and educational).




Lunch at the local bakery, given the cloudy weather opted for the meat pie. Excellent choice - it actually had meat in it. Followed by pear and custard pastry, also excellent. But then, breaking Herbert Hertaeg Rule # 1 for travellers we  slipped up and had a cappuccino. Luckily we survived, with a coffee of 6 out of 10, but  we will heed Herb's advice in future.


Moved on a couple of k's to  Tilba Tilba, so good they named it twice, (but certainly no New York) blink and you miss it as I did in this photo.


Stopped off at Mystery Bay on the way back - setting for the Robert G Barrett novel Mystery Bay Blues (one of the Les Norton series). Great read, for viewers over the age of 18.  It's a mystery why I didn't stop and take a photo actually.

Another dinner cooked on the electric frypan, which is fast becoming the most used item in the van, apart from Steve.

Tomorrow it's pack up again and off to Kiama - see you there
