Love Narooma

27 November

 

Only 2 weeks today and we will be home. We are missing Mutley and Salem but don’t want this 2 months to finish !! Especially on a day like today. The sun is shining beautifully.

We have been out watching the wooden boats go down the river in a parade, then bought some local oysters and prawns for lunch back at the caravan. The van site is right on the waters edge so perfect. We have to go back to the local pub this afternoon as I want a photo of the murals on the wall there. What an excuse ???

One of my favourite boats. The caravan park is in the distance.
This boat is run by a small steam engine

Hole in the rock...Narooma

The Narooma boardwalk and walking tracks go for many kms
Love this caravan
You have probably gathered...I love unusual trees.

 

 

Here are the promised murals. They are excellent.

 

Narooma Wooden Boat Festival

 

What a coincidence that we are here for the Wooden Boat Festival.

Mal is in his element with all the boats. Luckily we are off to Tilba Tilba this afternoon to check out the Heritage Listed village..

 

The closest I have got to Tassie. This is a Tasmanian Huon Islander.
Mystery Bay...named after 5 men went missing from their boat in 1880. No bodies were ever found.

This afternoon we visited the historic National Trust villages of Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba. They were fascinating, as though time stood still. Local artisans specialize in leather, wood,silver, textiles and much more. Great cheese factory too. We also followed the coast around and found some great private little beaches.

Loved Bermagui too.

Narooma

25th November….

We have arrived in Narooma  and will stay for about four days and explore the area.

What a beautiful area. Luckily there are heaps of walking tracks as we have already enjoyed a huge seafood platter for lunch.

Have been out for a few hours walking and coffeeing. Got caught up with a guy shucking oysters on an old jetty. May go back this afternoon with a wine and he will prepare fresh or Kilpatrick while we sit on the boards of the jetty over the water. Sounds good.
