A crew of 14 went on this walk organised by Mary, who was so keen to get going she took off without one of her passengers. The lost soul was readily accommodated in one of the more tardy cars so no harm done.
After a drive to just south of Narooma we parked and then walked through spotted gum forest to Bogola Head where we had morning tea with spectacular views up and down the coast and out to Montague Island.
After morning tea there was a beautiful walk down Fullers beach then around Nargal Lake – which as the pre-trip publicity suggested was a little overgrown in places but no real problem. The lake also lived up to its name as we saw several large Nargals (black snakes).
Safely back on Fullers Beach we found a place out of the wind for lunch – I was just about to pour my tea when we had to decamp as the tide was coming in and threatening to cut off our path around the headland to Loaders Beach – which we negotiated with the water lapping around our boots – so a good call.
This time we did have lunch and then headed off to for a short walk along the beach then inland around a dry lake and back to the cars via a 4WD road.
A lovely walk well planned and executed by Mary and her reconnaissance team that was enjoyed by all.
