Today we decided to take a trip to the south after we had another sleep in, followed by delicious eggs and bacon. Lyn and Wendy had already gone on their way when we surfaced.
We stopped at the old quarry site, where the stone for the Sydney Harbour Bridge was quarried, cut and transported from.
We took a bit of a drive around the town of Moruya before heading back across the river to the local pub to eat cheap chicken tacos ($10 each)
We drove out to Moruya heads , where we wandered to find a cache before standing out in the blustery wind looking out from the excellent lookout at the wide view. We were able to spot dolphins cruising along the coastline and seals playing in the waves on the rocks far below us.
We had a bit of a walk on the South Heads beach (by the Surf Lifesaving Club) and then drove back to beach looking back over Quandolo Island near the entrance to the Moruya River.
At Shelley Beach there was a platform with access to the beach, and deck chairs lined up on the platform!
Everywhere (like here) that looked like great camping (grassy flat area, toilets, beach, BBQ) was signed “No Camping” – which was a bit sad.
We drove towards Congo Point and entered the park boundary to find the track rapidly becoming rutted and more difficult to navigate – with water lying in puddles. As we continued we came across a couple of blokes bogged in one of the deeper holes and about to call a tow truck. Were they ever happy to see us! We pulled them out with our snatch strap, but we let them do the attaching in the puddle.
We decided not to keep on following that track on their advice, and walked down to Pedro Point (possibly a place for nude bathing??) near where we left the park, and then headed homewards via Brulee again. We used the bridge to Mossy Head.
Tomorrow we leave, so we need to shop a bit and prepare for some possible days of camping.
Somewhere in there we managed to finish another complicated puzzle that looked like the picture below.
