balhannah Says: Australia Rock, actually looks like a map of Australia. IT is found at the bar crossing (where the inlet empties into the sea). The shape of the rock wall was accidental and was created many years ago when a ship was tied to the rock with large chains to prevent it from...
balhannah Says: AT Bar Rock lookout, just don't stop there, but walk further on. There is a very good pathway that winds its way down the hillside to where "Australia rock" is. By going on this walk, even if you don't go to the bottom, you get good views of Wagonga Inlet and the Wharf area,...

Central Tilba is only a tiny little old village, but it is a very busy one, especially on weekends.
We were there during the week, and the narrow street was full of parked cars, there was a tour bus, and the car park by the ABC cheese factory was full.
We managed to get a park in the street, just pure luck!
What we didn't know was there was another car park at the opposite end of the street nearly empty.
Now, I don't know why, but its the same distance walk which ever end you park.
This car park is the one located by the junction of the road that goes to Tilba Tilba. The double story B&B is on the corner and there is a monument.

BAR ROCK LOOKOUT and the wind can be blowing a gale here. If you are visiting on a not real warm day, then you will need to pop a Jacket on to keep warm!
I took a photo of the wind swept shrubs just to show how strong the wind is on these Cliff tops.

balhannah Says: Well, after walking up and down Central Tilba's street, and browsing the shops, I decided to climb the hill to the lookout. The track leaves up a side road by the Dromedary Hotel. You open a gate, and walk through somebody's paddock to where a tank is, this is the...

Favorite thing: Down Narooma way, they have Oyster farms.
What we noticed was the price, SO CHEAP buying direct from the grower.
We saw a roadside sign advertising them for $18 for 3 dozen (2009 price)
Now, I don't know what they were like, but I do know that is extremely cheap, so it may be the place to get your "Oyster fix!"
