Kangaroo Valley to Narooma

Our initial destination today was to be Bateman's Bay, but, after stopping there for about 10 minutes we decided it wasn't really for us. A bit too touristy and boaty.

We had heard good things about Mogo Zoo, so we decided to take a break from driving and visit it.
It might not have the scale of Taronga, but it has a good atmosphere, and plenty of rare species.

Prepare for another plethora of cute and not so cute faces.

Something about this marmoset reminds me of 'Mad Max - Beyond Thunderdome'



After the zoo we headed into Mogo village. It's really just a single street with all kinds of craft shops on either side. Mandy smelled out a good jewellery shop, while my instincts led me to the Mogo bottle shop. An excellent selection of 'craft' beers which I bought several of. The best of which was 'Charlotte' by the Snowy Mountain Brewery, a new find for me.

Not really knowing where we were going to spend the night, we drove a little bit further south and eventually settled on Narooma. We got ourselves a little cabin for 60 bucks, which was well worth the money as it meant we could 'recharge' our freezer bricks for the cooler. The necessity of this will become clear tomorrow.
