It’s with heavy hearts we leave this morning having enjoyed “The Canberra Experience” and the good company of John and Jen but we look forward to Batemans Bay. Thanks to more inside knowledge from our Aussie cousins we enjoy a lovely mid-morning stop for a coffee in the historic town of Braidwood. It’s a quaint town with the original court house and many buildings enhanced with the wrought iron lace balustrades. There’s boutique shops, shops selling home made goods or old second hand goods and an excellent bakery, that chocolate muffin had our name on it.

The rest of the journey is an unexpected trip back through steep mountain roads, switch back bends and lots of forest until at Nelligan we suddenly meet the Clyde river and follow it to Batemans bay. The campsite is right by the bridge into the town, perfect for leaving Glad for a rest and us exploring on foot. After a walk to explore we arrive back at the campsite in time to watch the early evening feeding of the birds. The noise of the loriqueets, cockatoos, galas and pigeons is deafening as they all compete for the lion’s share of food spread out for them in front of Glad. Several of the galas perch on the wires above wheezing asthmatically, while the cockatoos walk heavy footed across the top of our awning before peering upside down over the edge at us.
