Day 20

20 February 2013

We had a peaceful nights sleep here! This is officially Joel's fav camp site in nsw.

We headed into the town of Moruya to have a sticky beak and pick up a few supplies. There is everything you would need in Moruya and probably more. IGA, Woolworths, Tackle World, hardware shops, petrol, food, cafes, pubs etc.

We got some groceries, picked up some pilchards from the brewing, camping & fishing store, signed a petition to keep Moruya Heads Campground (where we are staying) the same and not let council change it, they want to modernize it which pretty much means they want to charge people more! Filled the gas bottle up at Mitre 10 and picked up some kindling on the side of the road on the way back for our fire. There is a guy here right up closer to the airport (there are signs) that sells firewood by the bucket or wheelbarrow. We got a bucket for $10 and headed back to our site for a lamb roast camp oven dinner.

The caretaker comes each night to collect fees, it is only $15 a night or $88 a week (cheaper for pensioners). We have decided to stay here a week.

While the campfire was cooking us up some coals we decided to try our luck salmon fishing off the rock wall. People were pulling in salmon as we were walking up so we were hopeful that this could be the day. However we did not catch any salmon, actually pretty much after we got there no one was catching anything! Haha.

Everyone else thought it was good time to fish also!
 
Back to the coals and started the roast lamb and vegies. Well again we managed to cook this perfectly and while it was late by the time we ate, it was delicious.
