New South Wales – The Grand Pacific Drive (III)

We finally found our little paradise, 500 kilometres from Sydney and 700 kilometres from Melbourne—the small town of Narooma, on the Eurobodalla Coast. Conveniently located far enough from the two big cities, Narooma manages to retain some of its local charm and it’s not too swamped by Australian holidaymakers.

Local attractions include the “Australian Rock,” a big boulder with a hole that resembles the country (minus Tasmania), numerous pelicans and outrageously clear water with big waves. Add a couple of very sunny days and we were on cloud number 9.

After the night in the trailer (a very old and mouldy one), we were glad to sleep in a motel and to be able to do some laundry. I mean, washing clothes in the shower gets old after a while. We also did a bit of planning—yes, we are leaving Australia next week. We have five weeks left before going back to Canada and we wanted to explore another part of the world. So next Monday, we are flying to… actually, I’m not saying it yet, you’ll see! As much as I like Australia, the country has gotten so ridiculously expensive that travelling there is a struggle for shoestring travellers like us.

So, guess where we will be next week!
