We went for a walk down at the jetty and along the water front. Bermagui is a nice small but popular seaside town. We found a ice cream shop that sold gelato. Actual real Italian gelato. Charlotte ordered mint and was not so pleased when it tasted like 'those mint leaves', so used to artificial flavoured ice cream.
Bermagui has some really pretty coastal scenery. We went for a walk up along the headland to Blue Pool and saw more whales off in the distance, we've seen lots recently, it's that time of year. Blue pool is a man made pool at the bottom of a cliff up against the rocks fed by the ocean. Mark declared he wanted a swim but it was horrible weather. But being stubborn he went back the next day ( the weather was still crap) and had a swim. Well a ten second dip, fool, it's a wonder he didn't get hyperthermia!
We were feeling energetic so Mark and I went for a run/walk and the kids road the bike. We went from the caravan park to Camel Rock along the waterfront. It ended up being 14 1/2kms. It's was fun and we enjoyed it but were tired after!
As a treat on the way back from our walk we stopped for fish and chips at the wharf. They were delicious!!
We were so close to Bega that we decided to swing past after we left Bermagui. We only went to the cheese factory and that's all in Bega. Lots of green paddocks and cows. We tasted a few cheeses and then had some morning tea.
Upstairs they have a little museum and craft gallery. We had fun pretending to milk the cow.
From Bega we went to Eden. Edens another nice seaside town but seems a little older and not as nice as Bermagui. We camped for the night at a really lovely caravan park between a lake and the ocean, really pretty. We had a drive around town and checked out the sights. There is a great walking track along the beach to town and also one along the lake that we explored.
We passed into Victoria, last state before Tassie. Mark wanted to go to a microbrewery at Bruthen so we stayed there. We camped at a little caravan park next to the sports ground. Run by a funny character named Wally with interesting camp kitchen and toilets. We went to the brewery for dinner and drinks, it was a little expensive. But we had delicious food, Mark had a huge seafood platter and I had Peking duck pancakes, yummy! I think the beer was alright too!!!
Kids found time to have a roll around and kick the footy on the local sports ground. So lovely to see them having a go.
We debated where to go next, whether to stick to the coast or go up over the mountains. We chose the later! Hopefully we don't regret it.
