Little visitor

Last night we had a few visits from the local wildlife, not sure exactly what! There were however many little flies attracted by the lantern we were using inside the tent. They in turn attracted a rather large spider, the size of a saucer, who sat staring at us from on top of the inner tent. There seemed to be the sound of waves crashing on the beach but we weren't sure where the nearest beach was?! But, it was a very soothing sound...

In the morning, we stopped in Central Tilda, a historic town from around 1880. It was really quaint with little Devonshire tea shops! We continued down the coastal route and stopped by in Bermagui South by the river. A lovely picnic area served us well for lunch! Next we headed towards the small town of Tathra before driving inland to Bega. It appears Bega is famous for cheese so we sampled a few. We stocked up in the supermarket before driving on to find a campsite. Bemboka provided just the place, with a small stopping place for rest breaks. We set up the tent, cooked up some food and put our feet up. The toilets, with there bright lights, acted as a great habitat for moths, spiders and gigantic stick insects!
