DALMENY

We had a wonderful sleep on top of a mountain campsite about 20kms south of Bega (photo)

and after having to move during the two previous nights it was good. Leaving this camp we travelled the main highway to Bega, where we went for a walk up & down the main street. It is quite a nice quiet country town and not too big like some of Victorian country towns. Traveling via the coast we past through the Mimosa National Park, then Bermagui and Central Tilba (which is a little mountain village that has been fully preserved by the National Heritage exactly as it was in the 19th century). Our next stop was for Diesel ($1.579) at Narooma and a local bakery for lunch. Oysters are the local produce here and most ports along this coast are little fishing towns, but heavily reliant on tourists from Sydney during holiday periods. We finally arrived at our destination - Dalmeny Camping ground, and what a great caravan & camping park with a fantastic view over the surfing beach, so we have booked in for a week and only cost $136/week for a powered site. There are only about a dozen other campers here including three other motorhomes so it is really quiet too. Telstra Mobile is good, but Vodafone mobile & internet reception is poor. Digital TV is very good though.
