Quaama, Bega NSW Genoa, Cann River, Bruthen & Bairnsdale Vic


We left Narooma and headed southward toward home, we drove through Quaama and our first stop was Bega, famous for the cheese we all know. There is a museum, restaurant and gift shop, we browsed, tasted the yummy cheeses and shopped.

Next stop was the camp at Genoa, we explored the area more, chatted to the neighbours and relaxed after the drive.

This morning we headed for Maffra and passed the picturesque villages of Cann River and Bruthen, then on to Bairnsdale where we visited the beautiful St Mary's Catholic Church.

It took some time to find the caravan park when we arrived in Maffra in the late afternoon, when we did we decided to press on to Sale, the next town.

As far as caravan parks go this one in Maffra is by far the worst we have ever come across. Such a shame because we talked to a couple of very nice people there.

Once in Sale we found a great park to overnight in.

We expect to be home after lunch tomorrow after almost 5 weeks away.

Nobody has a clue where Bega is but they know the cheese!
