The Sapphire Coast NSW


This week we headed down the far south coast of NSW, otherwise known as the Sapphire Coast. Our first stop was Moruya, more bloody rain. Thankfully Sue and Greg took us in and gave us nice warm food and hot showers J We also got the grand tour of Moruya and surrounds and checked out the granite pit that supplied the harbour bridge. After a couple of days there it was time to rough it again. In order to get us in the right mood we first stopped at Tilba Winery and tasted their entire range, proceeded to Central Tilba to sample their entire range of cheeses and honey. Good times were had!
That night we stayed at Mimosa Rocks National Park (Aragunu Beach).In the morning we headed to Mumballa Falls, in the hopes of a natural waterslide, BUT it was far too cold to swim, so we just wandered about through creek beds and waterfalls.



After that Bega provided us with some wonderful cheese tasting and we headed back to Mimosa Rocks, but to a different campsite – Gillards Beach, where we were surrounded by skippies and some possums wanting to biff. There was an amazing lagoon not too far from camp that we visited a couple of times. Stayed a couple of nights then headed through Merimbula, Pambula and Eden to Ben Boyd National Park. Along the way we stopped at Hancock Point and The Pinnacles Then return to Eden to stock up before we head out into the wilderness somewhere near the border.





Hooroo for now.



Lesson of the week: Let loose and you will enjoy it.
