We continued further south yesterday to Eden, as we get closer to crossing the border back into Victoria. On the the way we stopped off at Bega and was disappointed to fine the Cheese factory and museum was closed. Just another “COVID” cause I’m sure, I know we have to be careful but apparently there has not been any cases of COVID in this region. Everyone is walking around without masks, so its hard to understand why the museum was closed.
Eden has a very big harbour and wharf area. Probably more known for where the Sydney to Hobart Yacht racers that have troubles sailing down the south coast end up. We had a quick look around town yesterday and bought some local seafood from the Co-op. We will miss the fresh seafood we’ve been feeding on all the way down the coast since we arrived in Cooktown in August.
Today we headed back north to Pambula and Merimbula. Merimbula is one of the biggest tourist areas on the south coast and unfortunately today we had to endure gale force winds, so Merimbula did not really excite us. I’m sure in calmer and warmer conditions it would be a different place but we didn’t see anything that would bring us back. Pambula was a nice little village but funny how a lot of shops were closed on a Saturday afternoon after 12. With businesses trying to get back after COVID, why close when you have a town full of tourists, beats me! Tomorrow we’ll see a bit more of Eden before we head of Monday.

A beautiful part of the east coast. I have recently heard that commercial fishing out of Eden has been shut down, is that true? You may like to do a short detour to Boydtown heading south out of Eden, not much there but quite a scenic spot with an interesting history. OMG you’re almost home!

We bought a lot of fresh fish from the Co-op yesterday and there were a number of fishing boats in the harbour so I suggest its up and running. Certainly its going in Bermagui as we were at the wharf when the boats were unloading. We’re heading out near Boyd town tomorrow for a picnic, weather permitting. We cross into Victoria on Monday and plan to be home (Yellingbo) on the 16th. Hope to be with you guys for happy hour on the Friday, but we won’t be wearing masks. Really looking forward to seeing our Regnan Rd family!.

Happy December 5th, to RnS. Seems you’ll have to keep these up when you’re at the new place, fixing, painting, and tidying up. Good thing you’ll be home Ray – Santa would have had a time trying to deliver that little golf item. We’re heading back into stringent masking in many states and cities.. more to come..

Mate, we’ve been watching you guys over there and find it hard to comprehend the situation your in now. With the winter months in front of you it could get even nastier, so please both of you take care and stay safe. Fingers crossed the vaccine actually does the job and it gets out to everyone quickly. Re the house renovations, Mrs W has so many things on the list I won’t have time, I’ll have to apply for a leave pass every time I want to play golf. I’ll give you a call when we get back home. Per HSB’s, “you be careful out there”.
