43 - Still At Narooma

We got here early to mid December 2009, and look like being here till end of January 2010. Several reasons for that, the bride has a job, someone has to support me, as I am nearly a pensioner. However the bride is really enjoying a change of environment, plus she is getting away from me a couple of hours a day, so that's a good thing.

Being on the southern NSW coast we seem to have missed a lot of the inclement weather further north, however it is always windy. May be this is the training for us, when and if we ever get to the west coast. As they say WA stands for Windy Always

Apart from Christmas and Boxing days, which were cold and wet, things are pretty good. The holiday park where we are staying at is bulging at the seems, as expected, however where we are camped down amongst the relocatable homes, you wouldn't know how the park is going. In the short term, this sits well with us, however I am getting a little towey and itchy feet.

We went for a walk the other day and find below some great pikkies.

The lake system coming in from the sea

The entrance to Narooma Harbour taken from the Southside

They call this rock "The Australia Rock". As you can see this image of OZ is amazing. Although you can't see it, Montague Island is in the back ground

This is Smugglers Cove, just south of the main beach at Narooma. Nice spot.

Heading towards the Mill Bay board walk on the north side of Narooma

The Mill Bay Board Walk

A bit of history here

Looking towards the main traffic bridge into Narooma from the board walk

The main town of Narooma from the board walk

A roped off swimming enclosure just inside the rock wall. Definately not the deserted beaches we like

A gentle swell

The southern rock wall leading into Narooma

Yours truely checking out the swell on the northern wall

A lumpy swell today

Running the gauntlet at the Narooma bar. You can see Montague Island in the back ground.

Looking west from the Pricess Highway bridge

How clear is that water

The Federation Arch, with the brides place of abode in the back ground

This is part of the brides work place
