Panboola then Waratah Gully Camp

An overnight camp with my new tent to Waratah Gully Campground in South East Forests National Park. Breakfast in Pambula, a pie from Wild Ryes Bakery. One of the nicest pies I've had in a long time.

Then a walk around Panboola, a community managed wetlands and habitat restoration project.

And then Haycock Point




Looking south over Haycock Beach


Then off up the escarpment to Waratah Gully. Had the campsite to myself and spent a relaxing afternoon setting up the tent and reading.

A visit from a Grey Currawong




Next morning a short drive to Myanba Gorge









Then off to Bombala and a look at the Platypus Reserve.
Very windy here but a lovely stretch of river. There is a  kayak launch point from a beach so its on a list to come back.



A nice mini break and hopefully the start of many more.
