20 - 21 February 2025
We left Lakes Entrance with the intention to stay somewhere on the NSW south coast - maybe around Merimbula or Pambula. It wasn't all that far so we first detoured towards Marlo and found a nice spot for coffee on the Snowy River. We continued on to Cape Conron National Park and stopped at the boat ramp for a successful spot of birding.
From there we drove on through Eden and stopped for lunch at Waldrons Swamp Rest Area - but we didn't see any sign of the swamp. We continued on and tried to find a spot in a caravan park but they were either full, or what they had on offer wasn't suitable, and they were all very overpriced. We took a chance on getting a site in a national park and were able to book a spot in the Mimosa Rocks National Park, just north of Tathra.
Gillards Beach had good reviews so we booked and drove on to the campground. We had booked "on the run" and hadn't taken too much care to get the best spot, but the site we had was quite suitable for one night. It wasn't too hard to get the camper trailer level, but there were a lot of tree roots that made the site very uneven to walk on. Because of the position of the site, we were also facing away from the beach. We'll be more careful next time.

It was quite late when we arrived so we set up and went for a walk down to the beach. By the time we returned it was time to get dinner organised. We didn't stay late in the morning, and we set off, again not knowing where we would spend the next night.
We wanted to go to Huskisson, so took the coast road to Bermagui where we stopped to try and organise somewhere to stay while we had a cup of coffee.
