While we were having a morning tea break at Mystery Bay picnic area, I managed to get a few lovely photos of the coastline and some of the flowers growing in the Eurobodalla National Park.

Mystery Bay, south coast of New South Wales
When we travel we often watch out for local bakeries to visit. It’s an indulgence of ours – and a lot of other people I know.
To be fair we did need to get some fresh bread to make sandwiches for our lunch later in the day. We found a suitable bakery in one of the towns we passed through on our journey south along the south coast of New South Wales.
A little further on we pulled off the main road into the picnic area at Mystery Bay. This is a part of the Eurobodalla National Park. It was a lovely sojourn while we enjoyed a cup of tea and the delights of the bakery.

Central Tilba near the south coast of New South Wales is a very historic little town in this part of Australia. It consists of many old and beautiful buildings from a by-gone era. We have pleasant memories of several hours spent there many years ago.
On this trip, however, we had very little time to stop and savour the delights of the town as we had a long journey ahead of us. Instead we just drove up the main street – it’s about the only street there – and then turned around and drove back down the main street. We couldn’t have found a safe parking spot anyway as the place was crawling with tourists. Like ourselves.
Shown in the photo above is the historic ABC Cheese Factory. We remember tasting their lovely cheese many years ago.

I love visiting places like Duesbury Beach at Dalmeny on the south coast of New South Wales. As you can see in the photos I managed some great shots of the coastline, the waves, the beach and the rocks.
We only stayed a few minutes as we had a long distance to travel that day. Despite this restriction I was pleased to get this group of great photos.

After leaving Bateman’s Bay we travelled south along the coast road. I wanted to see the coastal scenery rather than take the faster inland highway south. As we went along we stopped in at several spots along the coast. Along here I didn’t see many birds but some of the scenery was worth stopping and getting out the camera.
Duesbury Beach just south of the small village of Dalmeny was one such spot. A few dedicated surfers were taking advantage of the waves, despite it being quite early in the morning.
