On the Saturday we took a drive down to Batemans Bay to have a look around. I was trying to work out the last time we visited. I can see a visit in 2017 on my blog, but I know we came again after that. I’m pretty sure it was 2018, after visiting the Braidwood Quilts weekend, but I evidently didn’t get around to blogging about it.
We started our day by enjoying a fish and chips lunch at The Boatshed.
We noticed quite a bit of public art around the place.
Lat time we were there the old opening bridge was still in place and they were just doing the very early stages of the civil work for the approaches to the new bridge.
Now, the skyline looks quite different with the lower line of the bridge. The weather was glorious, with the water sparkling.
Just below Batehaven we noticed a sign pointing to “Observation Point”. That’s new since our last visit.
It sports stunning views into the Bay and out to sea.
On the Sunday, we just had a quiet time back at the van.
Mick took his kayak out on the Nelligan Creek for a while.
In the afternoon we walked down to the Nelligan village to get an ice cream. No photo, as they were really runny and we were trying to stop them running up our arms. The village dates back to the 1850s, so there are a couple of cute old buildings.
Then it was time to finish reading the book I bought at the Bungendore op shop.
We finished our time at Nelligan with a delicious pub dinner at the Steam Packet Hotel, right over the road from the caravan park. A very relaxing couple of days.
