South Durras and Batemans Bay

Our cabin site beside the lake was such a peaceful place, with contented wildlife...

... and contented humans. 

We could have stayed for many days, walking on the beach and floating down the lake outflow.  Floating down, getting out and walking back to jump in again reminded us of Mataranka Bitter Springs in the Northern Territory which we visited in 2015 (sadly pre-blog).

 

We took some time to drive down to the other end of South Durras, which is more sheltered. There is a caravan park at each end, and we can never decide which one we like to stay at best. 

But sadly all short breaks have to end. We stopped in Batemans Bay for coffee by the Clyde River.

And admired some spectacular new street art before our drive home. 

 

More South Durras

It is lovely to be back at the coast after such a long time. Our last visit here was just before the big lockdown in March 2020, but, being South Durras, little has changed and it remains as pristine as ever.

The wildlife is prolific, and some of it is quite tame. 

After our kayaking yesterday, we spent the afternoon on the beach, where Ben and Garry floated down the lake outflow to the ocean several times. 

One of the joys of this park is that each cabin has its own metal fire tin/barbeque. Great to sit beside in the evening. 

South Durras and Durras Lake

A few days at gorgeous South Durras.  It is autumn and we are glad to get away for a break.  

We hired kayaks and explored Lake Durras for a couple of hours.
