Gillards Beach - Mimosa National Park

This place was an unplanned stay but I am glad we took a sticky-beak to check it out. It was on our way to Wilton Park near Bermegui when we took the detour. While it was quite busy due to a large school group, we found a nice little nook with an area overlooking the sea, which TJ called the observation deck, and decided to camp here.

From here, we could drive to Tathra and Bermegui. With the long weekend in ACT and Victoria, we stayed put for 5 days. Over the weekend, we visited Bermegui, which had their version of sculpture by the sea and the seaside festival. The weather for the days we were here was perfect.

We met some campers next to us who were knowledgeable in fishing and after a couple of days trying, got my first salmon. It was reasonable in size and I am happy the rod and line did not snap. While I was excited with the catch and would loved to get a few more, I am not a morning person. Our neighbour has been urging me to get up by about 7am as this is usually a good time. He has been consistently getting a few each morning. Sleep vs Fish....Sleep wins!
