46 - Bega, Merimbula, Pambula.

Although we are still at Narooma, we had to go to Bega, which is about 75kms further south than where we are at the moment, to get a new part for the TV we bought in Kingaroy in March. Thank goodness it was under warranty.

So we headed off, one bright and sunny morning recently to Bega, with the intentions of also visiting Merimbula and Pambula. We had never visited M & P in all our years living in Sydney, so we though while in Bega, go and do lunch at Merimbula, have a look around, then sniff around Pambula, and them head back to Narooma via the tourist route which goes through Tathra, Bermagui and then comes out back on the Pacific Highway.

A fair bit of driving but been there done that now.

The bride over looking Bega. Very dry.

Bega is a nice little town. Good feel about it. Every body is quite friendly. We found it a typical happy little country town. Don't wanna die there, let alone have a winter there either, but we have been to a lot worst places.

The pikkie above is the only only one we took. Not much to show really. As we are not great people for visiting attractions, so we ignored the Bega Cheese Factory, and as Bega doesn't have a deserted beach, it was get the TV fixed and yahoooooooooo!!!!!! lets head for the coast.

We arrived in Merimbula about half an hour after leaving Bega and ran smack bang into a metropolis. Good heavens this wasn't a beach town, it was a frigg'n city. So what did we do head straight to the local bolo club and ordered the special of the day. Being a dole bludger, that's what you have to do.

IT was a great meal for not much...so I was happy, the belly wasn't grumbling......so it was off to discover Merimbula. Well, as above, it wasn't your typical surfie hang out. The place was huge, compared to a lot of the coastal NSW towns, and of course the place was packed to the rafters. There must have been all of Victoria there. Even traffic jams in the main street and an airport. Get me outa here!!!!!!!

Anyway we snooped around and took a few pikkies.

The main beach at Merimbla, and as for this part of the coast the weather was changing quickly and windy.

After Merimbula we went around to Pambula. That was really only a beach, but once again a gazillion people. O'h well got to be expected for January and school holidays.

We headed back into Merimbula on our way home via the touro route, Tathra and Bermagui. Not much to tell there that hasn't already been said.

So stay tooooooned!!!!!!
