29th September – Tuesday
This time next week, we will be home!
This morning we woke to blue skies, sunshine and no wind – Merimbula looks so much nicer in the sunshine!
This morning we made our first stop to the surf beach to the north of the caravan park’s headland and watched the waves rolling in and a couple of hardy souls in wetsuits and on surfboards. I doubt that this beach would be suitable for young children wanting a swim – it did look a bit dangerous.
Our next stop was at the Merimbula Lake – this is more an estuarine lake, with just a small opening to the sea. There is a boardwalk which winds it way along the edge of the lake for nearly 2 kms (return the same way). This was a very pleasant walk, with lots of stops to look at the bird life, both on the water and in the trees, as well as watching fish eating blue crabs. The water was so incredibly clear, which probably accounts for the large number of oyster farms in the lake. A most enjoyable morning!
This afternoon was a bit of a relax, watching for whales from the cliff edge of the caravan park (the whales decided to stay underwater), a spot of ironing, a wander around a few shops and sampling the local ice cream.
There is a large hedge of bottlebrush behind our caravan and this is like a gourmet meal to a large number of very noisy rainbow lorikeets and wattle birds.

7 sleeps to go.......
Jack's also counting down the sleeps! He was checking out his bed today to make sure it's still there (oh, and he ate some more peppermints too...)
Wow… That is really wonderful to have a week vacation at Merimbula accommodation. This beach is the best place to relax with plenty of great surfing locations and lots of fishing spots. Simply Gorgeous!
