Wake up to a fine view of the fish gutting station next to the van.
The wind has started up again. We pack up and head off, stopping at the internet place and post office, and also driving up to a lookout point for 90 mile beach.
Driving is really hard going due to the wind, and we drive for a few hours through miles of eucalyptus forest, with hardly any other traffic on the road, hanging on to the steering wheel to keep the van straight!
Reach Eden where we stop for a sandwich at the deli and are served by a very strange lady who doesn’t look up, then go and visit the much hyped Killer Whale Museum. Admittedly, there were a few references to killer whales and the fact that a killer whale used to reside in the Eden waters (Tom) and help fisherman catch other whales, which was made into the centrepiece of the museum (with his skeleton preserved inside) but most of it was about other types of whales and the general coast of Eden, not particularly thrilling.
We left there and drove, via the longest roadworks in the world, which whilst inconvenient, did allow us to get a picture of a house nearby which had a very attractive set of furry rocking horse type horses attached to the low walls on either side of the drive, to Batemans Bay. We found our pre-selected caravan park miles over the other side of town and set up camp at our pitch next to a small mechanical digger.
Went to use the internet and to the drive thru bottle shop (off licence) or “bottlo” as it’s known, where we met a man whose mother is from Coventry! Went to the recommended local Thai restaurant for tea, which was ok.
