06 Aug 2024 -Gillards Beach – Merimbula

Still in the same national park – Mimosa Rocks- I drove “down the road” so to say to do a short walk at Wajurda Point. It was a short walk. To my delight as I neared the bay and the lookout I saw something floating in the water- it was a southern right whale!! I watched it for a long time playing in the bay- rolling- slapping of its fins and tail. Was superb!!

 

Driving through Mogareeka and rivers in more inlets was lovely. Stopped by to enjoy the peace.

 

I had been told good things about quiet Tathra and enjoyed my time walking around here. Also spotted a whale out in the ocean- which actually came so close to one of the small fishing boats on the water- incredible!

Chamberlain Lookout looks out over the boat ramp and was quiet stunning too!

 

Driving to Turingal Head picnic area was through a rather pothole filled dirt road. Mainly caused by causeway flooding I think. I was hoping for more viewing areas around the lake but didn’t really get that.

I did do the walk down to the beach though.

The evening in Merimbula was spent at a caravan park.
