Bodalla, Tuross Heads, Moruya township

 Bodalla Cheese factory

Cheese Cheese Cheese. Today we visited the town of Bodalla. thats right, where they make the cheese at the supermarket. We went to the "cheese factory" and ordered a cheese tasting platter. The girls had a milkshake and we all sat and enjoyed the view from the little loft that was available to us. The girls got a kick out of sitting in the hanging cane chairs. This was a peaceful day with the sun shining and we all relaxed as a family and laughed together.

After this visit we headed off to Tuross head for some fishing off the beach and lunch in the sand dunes. One freak wave drenched wayne while standing on the rocks casting his rod... Quite a funny sight....Heather forget to bring her Bikini so went in the bra. I didn't mind at all, but i do  prefer the Bikini. (more pics to come haha)

Stop off at Tuross head

 The township of Moruya. Me and the girls head into town to give mummy a break and we soon find all the wooden carvings that are everywhere. It's amazing how many swan pictures and carvings are around the area. This place is well known for the swan population nearby.

Rarely that Lily poses for a picture. Where are your shoes missy?

Even the footpaths have swan logos or carvings of some sort

More carvings.

 We leave the town and head back to the van. I will be trying to hook up again tonight on some fish in the nearby lake tonight after everyone goes to sleep.

Moruya. Away we go!

Left Cooma today. Bid farewell to the chilly nights. On our way to Moruya on the east coast of  N.S.W. This little town is only a short distance from Bateman's Bay. With its beautifully preserved and restored historic buildings and churches, Moruya is a country town surrounded by rich farmland and a mountain range backdrop, with easy access to beaches and National Parks. It's main feature is the magnificent Moruya River the splendour of which can be viewed from the bridge leading into the town centre..Now we are really "on our own". 


 We will go to Mogo zoo to show the girls and possibly then to the ice cream shop with 26 different flavours. I am going to  buy 2 whole ice creams.
   We hit the road about 12.45pm and thanks to Drews welding i have mounted the new bike to the rear of the van. This should help to take some weight off the front end of the van. A quick stop at Nimittabel for a picture with the BIG ELEPHANT!

 As we drove on, the roads became steeper and steeper up into Brown Mountain. This road was closed only days earlier due to landslides. Great! We were held in traffic for about 20minutes waiting for the clean up crew to do some work on the roads. Talk aboout burning brake smell. Every unit is on the brakes all the way down. We felt like we were holding up other drivers because i took it very slow indeed.
   Brown Mountain behind us we stop at Cobargo bakery/pie shop for a coffee and of course a pie. Fuel up and off again.

We arrive at Moruya at around 4.20pm and check in... .. cool little location and set up. $50 per night with everything. Oh and the internet is working fine here. The van park is quiet and we are situated overlooking the mountain ranges with a sunset for each day.

Sunset view from our front door

Perfect weather while we are here and we don't bother with the full set up of the annex. we just pop up the sun shade to give us an outdoor area to sit under.
