We were in Merimbula, a small seaside town on the far south Sapphire Coast of New South Wales, for 3 nights. It was drizzly and rainy most of the time we were here but we did get one afternoon of sunshine. The first day we just relaxed a bit before heading out to listen to some live music and have some eats at a local brewery, Longstocking.





We wanted to go to Potoroo Palace, a nature preserve, where you can feed kangaroos and emus. Unfortunately it was rainy but we went anyhow.











We took a drive north (back the way we came to Merimbula) to visit Nooromba on the advice of our friend, Ben, we met on the cruise. We had delicious sandwiches for lunch and finally got to sit outside in the sunshine.

On the way back to Merimbula we stopped at a few lookouts.

We took a short hike to check out Murunna Point’s gorgeous views









For dinner we tried a local place called the RSL. We were intrigued by it and did some research to find that it’s kind of like an upscale VFW for returning soldiers. We were able to get a guest pass and had a delicious dinner. It’s an interesting place with a restaurant, sports bar, sports book and some pokies (aka slot machines).



We said goodbye to Merimbula this morning and continued south to Mallacoota. Until then….
