To celebrate my 60th birthday Bill and I headed down to Merimbula. I did have to ask directly what plans were in place for my birthday- had to use the sledgehammer approach- no point in being subtle! Our original plan was to do a scenic flight from Merimbula to Gabo Island for a tour of the lighthouse then a flight to Mallacoota for lunch then fly back to Merimbula. We always knew it was weather dependent and unfortunately for us the weather was not cooperating. The guy for the flight company rang at 9am on Saturday to let us know that he had spoken to the lighthouse keeper on Gabo Island and it was pouring rain winds of over 60kmh, so we decided to say on dry land!
We stayed in lovely apartment and enjoyed a tapas dinner on Friday night.
On the Saturday we headed down to Eden to explore that area- it is only 30 minutes from Merimubla. Just before Eden we stopped off at the Ben Boyd National Park and did a short walk out to the Pinnacles.
There were some lovely views of the beaches
Nice view of the Pinnacles
Couple of seniors checking out the view
We then walked down to the beach and had the beach to ourselves so had a nice long walk
Then headed into Eden checked out the wharf and had fish and chips for lunch
After lunch we went for a 5km walk around Lake Curalo. There were so many black swans, in one place I counted 60 of them
Spotted a family of ducks- 11 ducklings
