Well, here we are, off on the road again. This time we are headed for Karumba Qld. on the shores of the Gulf of Carpentaria. Just to be different instead of heading north from our home at Port Stephens NSW we actually headed south. Leaving home on Monday 11th March we travelled through the outskirts of Sydney on the M7 towards the Southern Highlands. Our first night was spent at Warri Reserve on the banks of the Shoalhaven River near the town of Braidwood. The next morning we negotiated the Kings Highway down the Clyde Mountain to Batemans Bay for some shopping, just to stock up on some essentials (like beer). Following the Princes Highway south we passed through Mogo and Moruya to a lunch stop at Bodalla. The town of Bodalla is well known for it's dairy products and it's hard to resist pie shop, but we chose a delicious counter meal at the Pub with a cleansing ale to wash it down (can anyone see a trend starting to appear?)
After lunch the highway carried us on through Narooma until we reached the turn-off to Mystery Bay. After two relaxing and peaceful days at one of our favourite camping areas it was time to actually start travelling north. With a brief stop at Tuross Head to catch up with Sue's former work colleagues we then made it all the way to North Head camping ground at Moruya for three days. During our stay at Moruya we visited the weekly markets, caught up with some old friends and even some of our neighbours, Terry & Shirley who had their van set up at nearby Nelligen.
