The starting point

The starting point

Thursday, 5 March 2015

Nelligen to Narooma , Kianga to Dalmeny drive . STOP PRESS *** Alan has put in his notice - retiring as of 20th March *** - Okay back to the other stuff .

 Pack up & drive day again - another 2 hours down the road - we don't want to have to go too far !!!
Lyn's drive today - lots of uphills & downhills , a few narrow bridges to get the concentration absolutely peaking , and through in a strong south westerly wind and you have an interesting drive .  Then throw in a couple of ignorant drivers that wanted to overtake in a turning lane , then ran out of road - it became even more interesting !!!  To be totally fair and beyond reproach , she did extremely well , and at the destination , she reversed the RV into place !!!!
 We had set up by 12:30 , so then had lunch and cruised back into Narooma for some information and a drive north from Kianga to Dalmeny . We are camped 2klms south of Narooma as they had sites big enough for us - must be a bit of a theme happening here - guess what - no Optus service or internet and we're only 2klms from town - the locals told us internet & phone services here are terrible - must be very ordinary when it is peak holiday season .
 Back to the drive north , beautiful viewing conditions as the sea haze was being blown out to sea , the water was still crystal clear , even though it was very windy , Montague Island was easily visible - wouldn't like to be there doing a tour today , you would need to be tied down so you didn't get blown away .
Montague Island and lighthouse
 The coastline is ruggedly beautiful and worth spending time at each spot to soak it all in . There is also a bike track that runs from Narooma to Dalmeny and beyond . Could be an activity for the next couple of days .
Looking back at Narooma from Kianga
 We arrived at Dalmeny and checked out the council park where you can stay - for a fee of course - as long as you have one leg longer than the other - to say it was on a slope would be underestimating it to say the least . We drove a little further to find access to Lake Mummuga , for another paddling spot  which we found .
 There are many drives and walks to do here - hopefully we will report on a few of these .
 Getting back to Narooma , we checked out Riverside drive - boat sheds , marina & restaurants , playgrounds , parks etc , before heading up to the golf club to book in for Saturdays competition . It may be tough to play good golf while the views are this enticing .
Looking at Glasshouse Rocks


 It will test my concentration out !!! 
 We are sitting at the surf life saving club , looking straight out at Montague Island , while writing todays news , speaking of that , that's it for today , hope you're enjoying the photos etc . Tune in tomorrow . Hope everyone is well .
Cheers 
Alan & Lyn
PS - How could I forget - I will sever ties with my working career as of 20/03/2015 and we will be back in Moss Vale around the 21st or 22nd March for a few days - in at where I used to work on 24/03 for a BBQ . Yip Yip YAHOOOOOO
