Day 14 & 15 - Holidays

Day 14 - We spent half the day wandering around the Coal Creek Historical Village at Korumburra - it was lovely to walk through all the old buildings and furnishings all set up in their original state. Then onto Sale to see Australia's only swinging bridge - unfortunately it only turns on the weekends. A bit more driving and we set up camp at Lakes Entrance.

Day 15 - We went for a drive around Lakes Entrance in the morning - admiring all the beautiful views at the lookouts. Along the river front there are 4 amazing statues carved from old tree trunks. We crossed back into NSW between Nowa Nowa and Eden. Stopped for lunch at Quarantine Bay - it was beautiful weather to sit by the beach and watch the fishing boats come in. We walked down to the jetty and watched 3 huge stingrays swimming along eating all the fish scraps the fisherman were throwing into the water. Drove on a bit further and had a look at the antiques at Oaklands Barn at Pamboola. We went to the cheese factory at Bega and got to taste a variety of delicious cheeses. We set up camp at Batemans Bay - we were right next to a swamp / wetlands and the frogs & bugs sounded like a "Sounds of the Rainforest" CD that unfortunately we couldn't turn off! LOL
