Narooma is one of the most scenic towns on the Far South Coast, nestled between the ocean and the startling blue-green waters of Wagonga Inlet, with Gulaga Mountain (Mt. Dromedary) watching over the township. The spectacular scenery makes it the perfect place for a relaxed coastal holiday. The town retains a '1950s fishing village' vibe but modernised, with great shops, cafés and restaurants. It's a fantastic place for families, with a beach that's patrolled in summer, bike tracks and waterways to explore or fish in. With a choice of flat stretches or hills, there are numerous places to walk around town and take in the spectacular views over the Inlet, the mountains and the ocean. Montague Island is located just offshore from Narooma and is a truly unique spot to visit, Twice voted as Tourism Australia’s top ecotourism destination. You can take a tour of the island and learn about its heritage-listed buildings, wildlife and history, or stay for a few nights in one of the Lighthouse Keeper's cottages. The island is home to the largest fur seal colony on the NSW coast, as well as being a breeding ground for more than 8,000 little penguins who come ashore at dusk after feeding at sea. Narooma is also renowned for its spectacular public golf course, ranked as one of the best in Australia. It's also a great place to go bike riding, with tracks around town that are perfect for kids to practice their riding skills on. If you're a hard-core mountain bike enthusiast, there are mountain bike tracks and sealed roads aplenty to check out, including some great tracks through local state forests and national parks. If you're looking for more leisurely pursuits, there are plenty of great cafés, restaurants and shops to experience.

Mogo suffered a similar fate to Cobargo on New Year's Eve 2019, and just like Cobargo, Mogo has come together to support its community. After a long winter, it feels like people are coming out of hibernation, and the beautiful spring weather, backed up by much welcome rain, has really put a smile on people's faces. Mogo Wildlife Park has been a beacon of hope this year; after managing to save the Park from fire, more good news was came in August with the safe arrival of a male Rothschilds' giraffe. Mum Binti delivered her first baby in just under three hours, even though he was he 6 foot tall! She has proudly added to the herd of giraffes, which now has nine members. The Mogo Mall is up and running in the Charles St. car park behind the main street. Portable buildings donated by ATCO through the Business Council Australia's BizRebuild project were donated to house up to 10 Mogo businesses who lost their premises, equipment and merchandise. Don't forget to wander over and say hello.

We offer a wide variety of quality second hand books at affordable prices. Drop in for a relaxed browse when you visit Mogo. Enquiries are welcome. Princes Hwy Mogo. 4474 2141 Not everyone in Mogo was affected by fire; there are still lots of businesses open. They're trading as normal, but like Cobargo, they need more customers to help recover from losses caused by fires followed by COVID19. So please put Mogo on your destination list - come and do your Christmas shopping and help this beautiful village get back on its feet.

This regional centre and major tourist destination draws visitors from all over Australia for its natural beauty. That natural beauty was somewhat singed in last summer's bushfires, but the areas close to town are unaffected. Situated on the banks of the magnificent Clyde River, water is deeply ingrained in the culture of ‘the Bay’. Swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking, surfing and diving are within easy reach of town. The new Batemans Bay Bridge replacement project is progressing well, with the barges leaving in November, and all of the concrete bridge segments now in place. It is expected that the Bridge will be partially open by the middle of 2021. This massive undertaking will improve traffic flow, allow boats to sail underneath, rather than wait for the bridge to open, and upgrade facilities on the foreshore. Follow the walking track from the Bridge all the way to Batehaven - you can walk, run, cycle, rollerblade, skate or ride your scooter. Keep an eye out for the beautiful sculptures dotted along the foreshore! Batemans Bay is famous for its Clyde River oysters, and there are plenty of cafés, restaurants, hotels and the Soldiers Club offering local seafood on the menu. There are plenty of options for live entertainment too, ranging from small restaurants and bars with more intimate gigs to the Soldiers Club, where the big names often perform. In previous years, Batemans Bay has hosted the Red Hot Summer tour - dates are still to be confirmed for 2021. The Bay is a great destination for families, with its array of outdoor activities and attractions such as a cinema and animal park. There are plenty of family friendly beaches within an easy driving distance, or head north or south if you're looking for waves. There are also several National Parks to explore within a couple of hours driving distance - on the coast and to the west on the escarpment. Check the National Parks and Wildlife Services website for more information. Hire a boat, kayak or a houseboat to explore the spectacular upper reaches of the Clyde River - drop a line in!. Follow the coastline south to explore beautiful beaches at Malua Bay, Rosedale and Broulee, or head north to Durras.
