45 - Mystery Bay / Pooles and 1880 beaches

Although we are still at Narooma (January 6th 2010,) and seeing that the bride is working, and me being a dole bludger without the dole (now that's a another story for later), however when I get motivated enough, and the weather is favourable, I find somewhere to go and play "Tom The Tourist". So it was off to Mystery Bay, which is 10 minutes or so south of Narooma.

So it was hop into the mighty Mopar Muscle car, and head south on a fairly stormy looking day. I knew the weather was going to be against me, however there was very little wind, highly unusual for this part of the coast.

Mystery Bay has a bit of history to it, and in brief it got its name after several NSW geologists chartered a row boat back in the 1800's sometime, to be taken to suspected gold findings, never to been again.

Anyway the long and the short of the whole saga, is the row boat was washed up back on Mystery Bay with no sight of anybody. Hence a major search failed to find anybody, so it was a complete mystery. Hence the name Mystery Bay. "How's that for a bit of history".

So I took some photies a little boring but have a look anyway.

Guess what!!!Mystery Bay


Anyway found this road just around from Mystery Bay, which went into the national park.....a'h another adventure. So what did I find....Poole Beach and 1880 beach. Poole beach was exactly the beach the bride and I love, just desserted, however I didn't have the bride with me, so I just took a pikkie. Maybe next time

Will put Pooles Beach, in the come again bracket

This is 1880 Beach. Heavens knows where that name came from.
