We got away promptly just after 8.00am travelled 290km and six hours later arrived at our destination in Pambula. It sounds a long time but we stopped at places on the way. We woke up to sunshine this morning so that was a nice surprise but late afternoon the rain came back. 😢 Today we crossed the Victoria / NSW border just before we arrived at Wonboyn 230km north of Lakes Entrance. Wonboyn was ten km off the A1, which is the main highway which we have been travelling on all day. Except when we turned off to go to Wonboyn and spent some time in Eden. Once we crossed over the border between Wonboyn and further up the coast to Bermagui, this area is called the Sapphire Coast. They say the stunning Sapphire Coast is dotted by charming coastal towns and country villages full of charm and character. We have two nights here at Pambula so tomorrow we will spend the day travelling north to Bermagui and back to Pambula. So by then we hope that we will have covered a good part of the Sapphire Coast in one day along the Sapphire Coast Highway. So when we leave Pambula on Thursday we will just go straight out to the A1 Highway and travel up to our destination without having to stop at all the little towns. Will cross fingers 🤞that rain passes through tonight.
We are now in NSW
We have now turned off the highway to drive 10km down to Wonboyn on the coast. Straight to the lake as I read that you could purchase oysters at a family owned oyster farm located on the edge of the Lake Wonboyn. But no we couldn’t find them. The above is an inlet on the lake.
I found these guys so went and had a chat to them. They were very tame, I just walked right up to them.
As there seemed to be no life around anywhere tried to find the centre of the little town to ask where can we get oysters. Strange, houses dotted around amongst the trees but no sign of shops. We came to Wonboyn not just for Oysters but to see this so called picturesque fishing village, 30kms south of Eden, pristine beaches surrounded by Forrest and good lookouts of the their beautiful beaches and coastline. Well we didn’t get to the beach and wonderful coastline as that was another 5kms more, gave that a miss. Back to looking for the shops. We stopped at a little building saying Post Office, thinking that a Post Office is the centre of Town. No luck it was shut. Looked around and then this lady appears so I asked her where is the town and she said this is it. Then we asked where the Oyster Shed on the lake. Then we were told the owners have that business on the market and are packing up, buying a motorhome and going to travel around Australia. So no shops in this so called picturesque Village. We all had a good laugh and chatted about the area then just got on our way. so that 1O km side shoot was a bit of a waste of time but I think the Pelicans enjoyed some company.
We have now arrived in Eden and the first stop was the butcher as we were told you can buy Wonboyn oysters there. We then drove out to the Eden lookout to see the coastal views. First stop was this view looking through the trees to a small cove below. So nice to have the sun. The water and sky is blue again.
Another small cove below.
These two photos were taken from the main lookout out on the point.
Now down at Snug Cove we’re all the fishing boats come and go. A little bit of art in the park.
Walked over out onto the pier to look at the boats and have a chat with a couple guys. Eden seemed to be a very nice place with its historic buildings, deep harbour and surrounded by National Parks.
Looking over to the other pier.
We have now arrived at our Cabin at Discovery holiday Park in Pambula. I haven’t included photos of the inside as it is exactly the same as the last two nights. When booking these cabin the photos in their websites looked immaculate inside but this one and the last two nights we feel a little disappointed that the insides are quite tired need a good paint. Not like the first park it was immaculate freshly painted and all new, so that set us a high standard but they are still comfortable.
When we arrived at our camp the Kangaroos were out on the grass in front of us so tame. You can walk right up to them. Mum with baby snuggling up to mum just lying in the sun.
They are coming in closer to us probably hoping for some food.
Three photos above, the kangaroos just crept closer and closer to us sitting on our deck. This above fellow was climbing up trying to get on out deck but he didn’t have enough clues to walk round to the side where the stairs are.
PT has opened half the oysters and we have ate them straight away yum,
The waters of Wonboyn and Pambula Lakes supply 130,000 Doz oysters which were shipped to Sydney Restaurants in 2016 - 2017
