There was a bit of a climb to leave the state before we climbed along a few ridge lines up and down some windy roads that did not do our fuel economy any favours . The exhaust helped obviously but I'm thinking a chip to maximise the setup would be a big benefit .
At Eden we took the time to visit the local killer whale museum mostly depicting old Tom a local favourite that was found dead years later in a nearby harbour and today his Skelton is on display from the rafters of the museum.
The kids enjoyed the museum especially the Skeleton and close second the way tuna is caught on lines by the tonne .
A few bargains at the local Coles specifically 5 kebabs for our lunch for $2.47 and a whole chook for $3.40 which was to be our tea for the night .
We took a short drive through the Ben Boyd national park then into Merimbula where no cheap accomodation was to be had , either powered on unpowered certainly not any free camps here on the south coast of nsw .
We did some geocaches and admired this bustling but small tourist town.
There was a nice tidal lake nearby at lake Wallagoot in the Bournda national park.
Hot showers but unpowered sites in a quiet environment sounded good for us to stay for a few days it had been a fair drive today.
Below is the picture of the nsw parks and wildlife park entry meter
I can see why everyone hates the user pay style of national parks here
While I have no problem with camping fees I think it's ridiculous to pay via our tax the. Daily entries then camping fees but in this part of the south nsw coast this was seriously our cheapest option without heading many Kms inland out of our way.
We ended our day with a beautiful roast chicken (cheap) corn and veg .
