Bega and Cooma

Monday, Dec. 22

We couldn’t drive from Tathra to Cooma without calling into the Bega Cheese Co-Op visitor’s centre for some free samples. We tried their grilled slices and picked up some cheese to take for Christmas Dinner.

When then drove onto Cooma in search of a Van Park. (No BIG4’s) in Cooma so we hit the tourist info centre and found some options.

Today we had intended to head into Hanging Rock in a national park between Cooma and Bowral but it was raining all morning and neither Sally or I wanted to break camp and pack all our gear up wet. We have decided to stall in Cooma an extra night hoping that tomorrow is clearer. This means that we will have to miss Hanging Rock and drive straight through to Bowral tomorrow, around 380k. We’ve done worst. So in the afternoon we took in the sites of Cooma. This involved a counter meal at a pub and then a tour of the Snowy Mountain Hydro Electric Museum. We then ascended Nanny Goat Hill to look over Cooma.

As you can see there are still storm clouds building, but we have our fingers crossed that tomorrow will shine.
