Moruya - Nth Heads Campground

Thu (19/9) We finally left Saltwater. We wanted to visit some people we had met in Kakadu who live down the Snake Track just south of Eden. But when we called, they told us they were flooded in, so we went to Eden for morning tea Instead. We headed north and went in to Bermagui for lunch. We were not making very fast progress!

So we decided to check out another campground recommended by Anne and Les. It's just outside Moruya which is just south of Batemans Bay. It turned out to be a lovely spot at the mouth of the Deua River. We got a fabulous spot looking out into the river......

Another feature of the campground is its proximity to the airport - literally right at the airport. Here's the view from the back of the van (that's a medi-vac plane sitting at the airport).....

The irony is that generators are banned after 8pm. At 8pm on the dot the few generators that were on went off and all was blissful silence - for 10min. At 8:10 a plane landed and then took off about half an hour later. Thankfully it was the last for the night. I spoke to Brett and he has flown the Hercules in here and knows the campground. Luckily no Hercules while we were there.

We went for a walk along the beach and out on the big breakwater. There was a pod of dolphins catching the waves in the river mouth.

We sat down on the river in front of the van and watched the full moon rise above the trees. We sure manage to find some nice spots!
